If you are younger than 15 years old and you have already made or wish to make a film, the Collectif Jeune Cinéma gives you the opportunity to participate in an international experimental film festival. The films submitted must be at least one minute long, up to less than one hour. There is no imposed theme and you are not obliged to tell a story. A sensation, an impression, images that you find beautiful or interesting, your desire to try a specific kind of editing or to narrate in your own way without fearing imperfection or failures of the sound and image, a game with shapes that inspire you: all of these are some of the multiple possibilities to start to make your own film.

For the second year, the Collectif Jeune Cinéma calls for media-based works from LGBTIQ (Lesbian, Gay, Bi, Trans, Intersex and Queer) filmmakers. It concerns all filmmakers who invoke and/or defy these identities in demand of a fresh and original view of the world and that seek a unique language through formal, narrative and poetic experimentation.

The works we are looking for are produced by imaginaries freed from all codes prescribed by dominant heteronormative culture. They should be exciting, inspirational and political all at the same time. They should take and give pleasure, upset, transform and emerge as spaces of freedom for both body and mind.

Collectif Jeune Cinéma joins the Festival du film de Fesses and Festival Loud and Proud to present two new selections of short films from What's Your Flavor?, a call for experimental films dedicated to queer culture and launched in early 2015 by five programmers. Xpanded Bodies is a programme of films addressing sexuality from contemporary issues incarnated in poetic, political, erotic-pornographic proposals... Each of them is a new invitation to explore the body in the digital era.

As part of the Festival du film de Fesses

Paths of musics and bodies stirring many sounds from punk to electronic music through Bizet. These films oscillate between two poles of body representation, from geometrical dance to an erotic of gesture and editing.
