The Short film
True Beauty This Night will screen before this film.
If that title seems familiar, it may be because it reminds you of Paris je t’aime, the audience-delighting hit that played during BIFF 2007. New York... is Paris...’s equally romantic, just as charming transatlantic cousin, another series of love letters to a fantastic city. Among the vignettes we see the tables being turned on a man attempting to talk dirty to a woman outside a SoHo restaurant; an east Village chemist attempting to persuade a young man to accompany his daughter to the prom; a former diva stranded in an Upper Eastside hotel is intrigued by an émigré bellhop... Each director was given 24 hours to film, seven days to edit, and the results are as diverse and as enchanting as you would hope for. Topping it off, a linking character pieces these borough segments into a heart-warming jigsaw on a city, full of endless love.
* The 11 directors are: Fatih Akin, Yvan Attal, Allen Hughes, Shunji Iwai, Wen Jiang, Joshua Marston, Mira Nair, Brett Ratner, Randall Balsmeyer, Shekhar Kapur, Natalie Portman
