FRENCH ACTOR & FILM DIRECTOR GUILLAUME CANET WILL CHAIR THE AMERICAN DEAUVILLE FILM FESTIVAL’s JURY “I have always been fascinated and passionate about American independent cinema. And in particular that of the 70s. Sam Peckinpah, Jerry Schatzberg, Francis Ford Coppola, Martin Scorsese… These directors were often able to express themselves freely without the commercial pressures of the major Hollywood studios. By exploring new narrative forms, experimenting with new techniques and challenging traditional conventions. This cinema with which I grew up gave birth to many talented filmmakers such as Quentin Tarantino, Sofia Coppola, Wes Anderson… And many others, who brought their unique vision to the American cinematographic landscape, a refreshing alternative to mainstream production. And it is above all this creativity, this audacity and this diversity that I appreciate so much in independent cinema. This contribution to enrich and broaden our experience of cinema. The Deauville festival has become the unmissable event for American cinema in Europe and it is with immense joy and pride that I have accepted to chair the jury for this 2023 edition. Thanks to Bruno Barde for this invitation and see you soon on the shores of the flowered coast!” declared Guillaume Canet for the occasion.
