The "City Short Film Collection" series meticulously created by the famous producer Emmanuel Benby has reached the second part: "New York, I Love You". Like the predecessor " Paris, je taime ", in this film, Emmanuel Bonby invited many famous directors and actors to join, and the tenure of the film was soaring. It may be rare to see so many big-name celebrities come together except for the awards ceremony.
Emmanuel Benby said: “It’s like a quick blind date. Each segment does not exceed 8 minutes, and it is also a love story. There are old couples, young people in love, The friends I met, Jews, Indians, and middle-aged people in ONS. In fact, I see this as a short film that considers the city’s love culture. What we show is the cultural atmosphere of the entire New York-that kind of diversity, It is complicated and sometimes a dazzling love culture. Choosing the director of the film is not easy, because there are too many directors for us to choose, and too many people are willing to participate. But my idea is, Try to find American directors as little as possible, because they are too familiar with New York, New York will be less innovative in their lens. So we have found many outstanding and excellent directors from all over the world. Overall, the film’s The European flavor is very strong, and there are many religious and Zen feelings. Especially the paragraphs of Mira Nair , Anthony Minghella CBE and Shunji Iwai-they are very prominent in these love stories."
Mira Nair, an Indian female director who had a good time in Hollywood, directed the "Diamond Deal " section starring Natalie Hershlag in "New York, I Love You" . In that passage, Mira Nair told about a love that transcends religious beliefs-the marriage of a Hindu man and a Jewish woman. Mira said: "In fact, what I want to illustrate in the short film is the cultural tolerance of New York. As far as I know, many religious extremists have gradually accepted infidels living in the same community as him after they came to New York- -This is the great thing about New York. The directors I work with are all famous international names. I am very happy to be able to work with them."
