It&#8217;s a compilation of 20 5-minute films set in each of the 20 neighborhoods (arrondissements) of Paris. Each film is directed by a different filmmaker and tells a tale of love and life in the city of lights. My personal favorite is <i>Quais de Seine<\/i>, which is directed by Gurinder Chadha (<i>Bend It Like Beckham<\/i>). It&#8217;s about a young man hanging out with his 2 friends who try to (unsuccessfully) pick up on women as they walk by. When a Muslim girl trips and others laugh at her expense, he goes to help her and they strike up a conversation. I love it because their connection is so organic and natural.<\/p>\n<p>I also love the mini-films <i>Le Marais, Bastille, Parc Monceau, P\u00e8re-Lachaise, Faubourg Saint-Denis<\/i>&#8230; a good summary article about the project can be found <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Paris%2C_je_t%27aime\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a> on Wikipedia.
