An anthology film (also known as an omnibus film , package film , or portmanteau film ) is a single film consisting of several shorter films, each complete in itself and distinguished from the other, though frequently tied together by a single theme, premise, or author. Sometimes each one is directed by a different director or written by a different author, or may even have been made at different times or in different countries. Anthology films are distinguished from " revue films " such as Paramount on Parade (1930)—which were common in Hollywood in the early decades of sound film , composite films , and compilation films .
Anthology films are often mistaken with hyperlink cinema . Hyperlink cinema shows parts of many stories throughout a film, whereas anthology films show story segments of one at a time. Some mistaken examples include Pulp Fiction (1994) and Amores Perros (2000), distributing their storylines non-chronologically, separated by segments.
