The Collectif Jeune Cinéma, a distribution and diffusion structure of experimental image and film practices (whose 50th anniversary we celebrated last year), is organising the 24th edition of the International Festival of Different and Experimental Cinemas of Paris from the 12th to the 16th of October, at the Cinéma Le Grand Action. This edition continues our work of exploring experimental and different, contemporary and international creation, based on three calls for films made in 2021/2022.

The focus of this edition, entitled “Black Bodies - archives of violence”, concentrate on films made by afrodescendant filmmakers, from their experience, from their bodies and the violence they carry, in order to see possible resistances and transformations of oppressions. Home, uprooting, intimacy, mourning and skin are some of the words that will allow you to enter the programmes presented in a sensitive way.
