Studio: Fox Lorber

DVD Release Date: January 14, 1998 (out of print)

Description:
40 international directors were asked to make a short film using the original Cinematographe invented by the Lumie`re Brothers, working under conditions similar to those of 1895. There were three rules: (1) The film could be no longer than 52 seconds, (2) no synchronized sound was permitted, and (3) no more than three takes. The results run the gamut from Zhang Yimou's convention-thwarting joke to David Lynch's bizarre miniature epic.
