The 60th Cannes Film Festival

The journalist Paolo d'Agostini, present at the Cannes Film Festival, has seen the collage of short films made by thirty-five of the most famous directors from around the world to celebrate the festival's 60th anniversary. The journalist regrets that this homage to cinema didn't manage to really shine. "The authors came to meet up with the public without having seen the whole collage of one another's contributions entitled 'To Each His Own Cinema'. Like a flower in the button hole of the festival's 60th birthday party suit, it was the wish of the Gilles Jacob, the eternal president. For this occasion the given theme was the cinema as a darkened theatre from which deep reflection emerges on film as a language of emotion, very deep even … . It turned out to be mostly homage to film tinted with nostalgia and seen from an archaeological angle."
