r.i.p. Marcel Mazé
Dear all,
We are particularly sad to let you know that Collectif Jeune Cinéma’s founder and honorary president, Marcel Mazé, passed away during the night of February 13th.
We will pay a tribute to his involvement in experimental and different cinema on March 15th at La Clef Cinema in Paris.
The 40 years of his CJC were celebrated in many institutions last year like the Centre Pompidou in Paris) or the TIFF (in Thessaloniki). The Kagablog each time was informing you about the birthday screenings.

Conoscevo Marcel Mazé dai gloriosi tempi del Festival di Hyères e ne ho sempre apprezzato l’indefessa attività per promuovere e sostenere il cinema sperimentale. Ancora l’ultima volta che l’ho incontrato a Parigi in ottobre mi ha parlato del suo desiderio di fare una rassegna di film sperimentali in Italia.
Sono desolata che ciò non possa più avvenire.
Piango un cineasta, un critico, un organizzatore, ma anche un amico affettuoso e sincero.

Madame Ester De Miro, Félicitations pour votre implication à l’aventure du groupe avant-gardiste “Zanzibar” dans les années 70. Oui, Marcel Mazé était tout ça à la fois : un cinéaste, un critique, un organisateur mais surtout un bon ami.
Vous aviez fait partie du jury en 1980 de son premier festival de Hyères. “Restez en Paix”(RIP) cher ami.

Congratulmations also to you Miss Raynal for your films of the same group. The last trip Marcel Mazé made was for the TIFF and then he came in my Athenian home for some days.
