" In the 1970s, the Collectif Jeune Cinema started to publish an innovative journal begun by Patrick Kirchhofer. “Cinéma Différent” combines theoretical and free written texts freer by artists/filmmakers who were connected to CJC. A breath of freedom shines through the reading of each issue, mostly in the forms of writing (photo collages decorated with texts, art essays, etc.)."

"From its conception, “Cinéma Différent” seems to echo directly from the position undertaken by the own experimental film practice in the cinematic landscape: Claude Brunel, one of the recurring authors of the journal, defines it like this: "Subject to any guidelines, if that is not one of the requirements, a victim of any theory but open to all theories, conceived and built away from chapels and polemics, those "what-it-needs-to-be-thought” and "what-it-must-to-be-done", “Cinéma Différent” has no other purpose than to help to highlight, to distribute and to create an independent, different and experimental cinema” ("Editorial" Cinéma Différent, nr 23 / 25, July August/September 1979, p.3)1. Result of the diversity inherent to this kind of cinema, the journal seeks to reconcile sharp and precise explanations of various experimental movements, with a great creative part inserted immediately, out of the pages.
