Natalie Portman, Michael Douglas… An Avalanche of Stars for the 50th Anniversary of the Deauville Festival
Soon after the 49th private American Film Festival in Deauville, which is held privately, it literally explodes with the names of great world stars.
Francis Ford Coppola, Michael Douglas, Natalie Portman.
Following the 49th edition of the privée de nombreux, invited to the Grève du Sector beyond the Atlantic, the Deauville festival will return 50 years ago and will take place from 6 to 15 September.
Michael Douglas’s honorary invitation to appear in tribute to the film “Homage to Career” was a gift to the festival winner and monumental Francis Ford Coppola, who presented his latest film “Metropolis”.
“Independent American Cinema”
Honorary awards were received by Oscar winners Natalie Portman (Leon, V for Vendetta, Black Swan, etc.) and Michelle Williams (Manchester by the Sea, The Fabelmans, etc.), as well as James Gray (Ad Astra, Two Lovers, etc.) or Frederick Wiseman was documented as an encore.
“We are moving like the independent cinema of America, the deficiencies,” said the festival’s historical programmer, Jérôme Lasserre, on the AFP channel, who fled from “Jessica Chastain, Ryan Gosling and Xavier Nolan, there was no meeting when” “they are just waiting for the premiere.”
14 films took part in the competition and became premiere films-sellers.
“The main theme of this year is the cell of kinship, that is, the principle of non-interference of our children” by Jérôme Lasserre. “The most important thing is to honor the actors of the stage without the aura of cinema.”
Tim Burton or Benoit Magimel encore
The audience will receive the Palme d’Or of the 2024 Cannes Film Festival for Sean Baker’s Anora, as well as the latest films by Paolo Sorrentino (Partenope), Michel Hazanavicius (Plus Connoisseurs of the March), all present, or go for an encore by Tim Burton (Beetlejuice).
In total, this week there will be 100 film projects, 170 screenings and 70 tournaments with the participation of animators between the Barrière Casino (bureaucratic films and projections), the International Centre of Deauville (CID) and the Le Morny cinema.
Not to mention, on the Famous Planches, James Gray opens a new office numbered September 9, imitated by Natalie Portman on September 14.
60,000 festival-goers flocked to Deauville to attend the pilot of the 50th edition for the new director, Aude Hesbert, after the mise-en-scène and portrait of Bruno Bard, at the centre of an investigation by French media Médiapart sur des accusations of abuse and aggression by sexuelles de sept staff.
The 2024 jury will be chaired by French actor Benoit Magimel.
