(AP Photo/Jeff Christensen)CANNES, France (AP) - Director Roman Polanski walked out of a news conference at the Cannes Film Festival on Sunday after berating journalists for asking "empty" questions.

Polanski, whose film "The Pianist" won the top prize at Cannes in 2002, was onstage with nearly 30 major directors — from Mexico's Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu to Germany's Wim Wenders to China's Wong Kar-wai — who were showing short films in homage to cinema.

The shorts were packaged as a feature called "To Each His Own Cinema."
