Line up announced for the 48th edition of Deauville Festival
Ever since 1995, the year when the festival became a competition, it has been our ambition to showcase the best of American independent cinema.
This edition’s filmmakers, many making their feature debuts, aspire to provide an artistic answer to questions posed by the world. Interrogating the future, their cameras examine childhood and youth with troubling and moving acuity, making a recurring theme out of the passage into adulthood. One might say these directors are using screens as reflective mirrors.
Rugged and appealing, this competition should ignite passions all around. That is our hope.
Bruno Barde, Festival Director
