Sometimes each one is directed by a different director. Sometimes there is a theme, such as a place, a person, or a thing that is present in each story and serves to bind them together)

found: Best portmanteau films collection, via MovieMail Web site, Apr. 30, 2007(A loose definition of a portmanteau film is a movie consisting of a series of separate plotlines that are connected, albeit tenuously, by a connecting theme. Some of these works contain the works of a variety of directors (New York Stories and Tickets both feature contributions from three world-class filmmakers), whilst others interweave narratives under the eye of just one artist (Masaki Kobayashi in Kwaidan, Pier Paolo Pasolini in The Decameron). The restricted time limits often bring out the best in the directors - the contributions of Woody Allen in New York Stories, Samira Makhmalbaf in 11/09/01 - September 11, Victor Erice in Ten Minutes Older and Ken Loach in Tickets are particularly worthy of recognition.)
