This film is a unique and extraordinary response to the catastrophic events in New York City that shook the world on September 11, 2001. Producer Alain Brigand invited 11 renowned international directors to look towards their own cultures, their own memories, their own stories and their own language, and create a film lasting eleven minutes, nine seconds and one frame - 11'09''01 - around September 11 and its consequences. The thought-provoking results - made with complete freedom of expression and in a spirit of complete equality - cover a diverse range of sensibilities and viewpoints and testify to the resonance of the event throughout the world.
