From The Great Pyramids in Egypt to The Great Wall Of China, from Los Angeles to Hiroshima, directors throughout the world took part in a unique celebration of cinema. To commemorate the Centennial of the Lumiere Brothers' first "motion picture", David Lynch, Spike Lee, Wim Wenders, Zhang Yimou, John Boorman, and a host of leading international filmmakers created their own one-minute Lumiere Films. Using the restored original camera, each director offered his own signature style to the film. These exciting eclectic shorts are combined with intriguing interviews with the filmmakers.
