YesAsia Editorial Description
Produced in 2007 in commemoration of the Cannes Film Festival's 60th anniversary, To Each His Own Cinema is an unprecedented anthology that brings together 35 leading directors of world cinema. The collection is comprised of 33 three-minute shorts revolving around the theme of cinema. Asian filmmakers Wong Kar Wai, Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, Hou Hsiao Hsien, Tsai Ming Liang, and Kitano Takeshi are represented in the anthology, along with directors like David Lynch, David Cronenberg, Gus Van Sant, Roman Polanski, Olivier Assayas, Lars Von Trier, Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu, Theo Angelopoulos, Andrei Konchalovsky, and Jane Campion.
Simply asked to express "their state of mind of the moment as inspired by the motion picture theater", each director had free reign to create "his own cinema" and the resultant films are as varied as the nationalities of the directors onboard. From Kitano's wry imaginary visit to a countryside cinema in One Fine Day to Hou Hsiao Hsien's film house homage in The Electric Princess House to Zhang Yimou's gentle depiction of rural children gathering for a screening in Movie Night, To Each His Own Cinema is a striking tribute to film from some of the greatest names in contemporary cinema.
First Press releases come with a bookmark booklet featuring remarks from the directors.
Note: The Joel and Ethan Coen short is not included in this release.

33位世界級名導演
33段3分鐘大師級影像
【康城影展】六十周年紀念呈獻
香港【法國電影節】開幕電影
為慶祝【康城影展】60週年紀念，三十多位來自5大洲合共25個國家、先後揚威【康城影展】的國際大導演聚首一堂，每人各以「電影」為題，把於戲院裡化身小影迷時的經歷與幻想在短短3分鐘裡盡情展現、大放異彩。
在極度有限的製作費之下，這班現今備受爭議、兼在國際影壇上享譽盛名的大導演，將無窮無盡的想像力和發揮空間向公眾展示，他們的作品有風趣惹笑、感人溫馨；有憤世嫉俗、發人深省﹗內容創意無限，手法獨特，把電影的視覺藝術提昇至更高層次，逐一迷倒醉心藝術世界的觀眾。
備註:
三十多位世界級名導演 (排名不分先後) :
安哲羅普洛斯、奧利華亞薩耶斯、比爾奧吉斯特、珍甘比恩、約瑟夫夏因、陳凱歌、米高仙明奴、大衛哥連堡、尚皮耶與盧克達頓兄弟、曼諾德奧利維哈、雷蒙．德巴東、艾堂 伊高揚、阿摩斯吉太、候孝賢、艾力謝路依拿力圖、郭利斯馬基、阿巴斯‧奇亞羅斯塔米、北野武、安德烈康查洛夫斯基、哥羅特利勞殊、堅盧治、大衛連治、南尼摩列堤、波蘭斯基、拉烏盧易茲、和路達沙利 / 華特撤勒斯、伊利亞．蘇雷曼、蔡明亮、吉斯雲遜、拉茲馮特艾爾、溫雲達斯、王家衛、張藝謀
At the outset, there was this challenge: celebrate the anniversary of the Festival, without turning a nostalgic eye back over the past 60 years, so as to reaffirm our admiration and testify our confidence in the great filmmakers of the world. Filmmakers who have never creased to astonish and constantly reinvent the cinema.
We have brought together 35 directors, from 5 different continents and 25 countries, all universally recognised. They have directed, in just 3 minutes each, their state of mind of the moment as inspired by the motion picture theatre, that magical venue of communion of film lovers the world over. The very nature of this project sparked them into being all the more surprising, funny, tender or sarcastic, as well as moving and provocative.
This melting-pot of cultures, origins and talents inspired us to bestow of this feature film as its title, To Each His Own Cinema: 33 individual works for a collective celebration.
The novelty of its form derives from its extreme division, thereby inviting audiences to a constant change of scene and ever delicious savour of lightness. This innovative writing does not reflect some purely mechanical chain of motion-picture theatres; instead it creates a series of improbable encounters in cinemas, whose amazing diversity is sure to surprise one and all. For it is here that one finds individualities who express their aesthetic views, poets who capture a parcel of the world and transfigure it each in their own way.
No filmmaker had any knowledge about other fragments, or even the synopsis of his fellow directors. They agreed to discover them at the same time as the festival-goers themselves, on Sunday, May 20th, during the evening dedicated to the anniversary of the Festival.
