Ten Minutes Older: The Trumpet is one of two feature length compilations of movie shorts by some of the world s most respected film directors. Fifteen international film directors agreed to participate in the project. Seven movie shorts relate specifically to the film, with contributions from Aki Kaurismaki, Victor Erice, Werner Herzog, Jim Jarmusch, Wim Wenders, Spike Lee and Chen Kaige. Each film is linked by the respective musical instrument in its title and the musical interlude (scored by Paul Englishby) between each film to connect each short in a gentle manner, allowing each picture to have its own 'frame'. The theme tune for Ten Minutes Older The Trumpet is from legendary maverick Jazz musician Hugh Masekela.

The Cello showcases the contributions of eight further directors bringing the total contributors to fifteen The Cello features films from Bernardo Bertolucci, Mike Figgis, Ji í Menzel, István Szabó, Claire Denis, Volker Schlöndorff, Michael Radford and Jean-Luc Godard. Each short is linked by a musical instrument (in this case a cello), allowing each picture to have its own 'frame'. The musical interlude for this film is performed by Claudio Bohorquez and was scored by Paul Englishby.
Review
Film sketches, a genre that had fallen into abeyance, is not dead! As proof, these short films from some of cinema's greatest names. Each director delivers his own interpretation of time, as many free figures on an imposed subject. What is striking at first glance, is the diversity and richness of these sketches, as well as their quality. One easily and happily finds the cinematic universe of each author who lent himself to the exercise. --Plume Noir
