Following the successful feature film ‘Paris, je t’aime’ that opened the 2006 ‘Un Certain Regard’ section of the Cannes Film Festival and was distributed worldwide, we are thrilled to present ‘New York, I Love You’. 12 filmmakers will direct a short film (5 minutes) illustrating the universal theme of encountering love within the five boroughs of New York City. ‘Paris, je t’aime’ has proven to be a wonderfully creative experience for all the talents involved. Internationally acclaimed directors such as the Coen brothers, Alexander Payne, Gus Van Sant, Alfonso Cuaron, Wes Craven, Walter Salles, Tom Tykwer, and artists among which Elijah Wood, Juliette Binoche, Willem Dafoe, Natalie Portman, Nick Nolte, Gena Rowlands, Gérard Depardieu truly enjoyed this enjoyable and inspiring project. We now think Newyorkers need a little love before heading to China. [Written by Emmanuel Benbihy]
