Cannes Film Festival 2007

Directors David Cronenberg, Atom Egoyan and Roman Polanski all made 3-minute short films included in a tribute movie screened the Cannes Film Festival on Sunday called “Chacun Son Cinema.”

They also took part in a news conference that erupted into a debate over whether digital video, cell phone texting, Web downloading and home entertainment threatened traditional movie theaters with extinction.

“The form of cinema as we know it already is a thing of the past,” said Cronenberg.
