Parce que l’anniversaire du Festival est un hommage aux artistes, il sera célébré par un film, Chacun son cinéma, œuvre personnelle et collective. 35 réalisateurs de renom ont eu toute liberté pour imaginer un film de 3 minutes sur le thème de la salle de cinéma.

If you didn’t like this three minute segment, then there was another coming up shortly. Forty in fact – a project of Gilles Jacob to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Festival de Cannes. And a fine cinema celebration it is.
Forty directors were asked to contribute a short film on cinema. Those who brought a sense of humour to their project did best (Walter Salles in a mock song about the poor fishing port in the south of France, Roman Polanski’s joke at a screening of Emmanuelle, the Coens’ cowboy deciding between La Règle du jeu or Climates, Ken Loach sending up multiplex programming). The nostalgias were also moving and effective (especially Kitano, the Chinese and Lelouch). Some were pleasantly self-congratulatory (Chahine, Moretti). Amos Gittai was very political about the 2006 war. Only 99 year old Manoel de Oliveiera could have a film about John XXIII and Khruschev. And Lars Von Trier was – well, Lars Von Trier. Too many to mention, but the film provides an intriguing directors’ eye view of the power of cinema.
