“A vibrant and kaleidoscopic team, which paints a portrait of a young American compound, in search of meaning and identity,” he emphasizes Aude Hesbert, director of the festival, in a press release.
“Through these works, a snapshot is arising from the search for a missed carefree: that of a generation confronted with the filiation wounds, the challenges of the transition to adulthood, but also with economic, environmental and political problems that redefine their future in depth,” he adds.
The Deauville Festival also revealed the jury nights, chaired by Golshifteh Farahani. The Franco-Iraní actress will be accompanied by the filmmakers Thomas Cailley and Katell Quillévéré, the actresses Eye Haïdara and Filippine Leroy-Beaulieu, the director, director, director, director and author Vincent Macaigne, Choreographer and director Benjamin Milleepied and the scriptwriter and animator Tronche.
