Synopsis:

***ATTENTION***Films contain original language audio or silent with English, French, Spanish & German subtitles***The ten short films on this DVD represent a panoramic view of contemporary experimental creativity. It's the visuals that take the lead over the narration and orient the direction of the works. However, these directions are joined with questions of humanity, philosophy and aesthetics that each creator asks himself, no matter what style or format is used, concerning: games, desire, encounters, the search for an identity, representation or society.

The Different Cinema Vol. 1 DVD is a compilation of rare and original experimental films from around the world, each of which were selected for screening at the Different Film Festival of Paris (Festival des Cinémas Différents de Paris) between 2001 and 2003. The DVD includes the Lettrist artist Maurice Lemaître and video artist Takahiko Iimura as well as a number of young undiscovered talents such as Hugo Verlinde, Colas Ricard and Martin Gracienau.

The ten shorts films on this DVD, each of which have been presented at one of several Different Cinema Festivals of Paris, represent a panoramic view of contemporary experimental creations. The visuals take the lead over the narration and orient the direction of the work. But these directions join with the questions of humanity, philosophical and aesthetic, that each creator asks himself no matter that the style or format: games, desire, encounters, the search for an identity, representation, society.

The first film on the DVD, I-Motion by Rozenn Nobilet, is a rhythmic work that puts into parallel the body with the art form of cinema. The body becomes a subject of film, a means of narration. Egbert Mittelstädt works on a similar theme in this film as he explores the body in motion by filming a dancer. The body leaves traces that become abstract images that eventually rejoin the body itself. Other films like Jardin privé by Stéphane Marti or Geminga by Hugo Verlinde also tackle the subject of body language through film.

The more narrative films on this DVD, Sentimental Journey by Tony Wu/Georges Hsin, Introspection by Richard Beaune and Ganeden by Maurice Lemaître, demonstrate how experimental film can include storytelling. These films, through their unique treatment of the subject matter, invite the viewer into fascinating private worlds that are both fragile and intimate.

Subtitled in four languages (English, French, German and Spanish) The DIFFERENT CINEMA Vol. 1 DVD addresses an international audience. Enriched by an interview with Marcel Mazé, the founder of the Collectif Jeune Cinéma (CJC) and a biography/filmography of each of the featured artists. A written essay by Raphaël Bassan, a French film critic, is included as a pullout booklet.
