One of the iconic figures in the history of 'different cinema' in Europe, Marcel Mazé (1940-2012) passed away last night. Marcé founded and then presided over the years Collectif Jeune Cinéma, the first filmmaker's cooperative in France over forty years ago, in 1971, after the model of Jonas Mekas' Film-Makers’ Cooperative. Film journalist, occasional filmmaker (his best known film is Focalises from 1980), actor in several films of Stéphane Marti, Mazé also helped create the Festival des Cinémas Différents et Expérimentaux de Paris. To better appreciate his passion for 'different films' read the interview that Viviane Vagh made for Senses of Cinema on the occasion of CJC's 40th anniversary.
