Meetings, tributes and previews
The Deauville Festival is slowly revealing the program for this 50th edition. But we already know that several talents will be honored during this festive week, including director James Gray (Little Odessa, Ad Astra, etc.).
The latter will be present on the coast for an exceptional conversation on Monday, September 9. His entire filmography will also be screened. Festival-goers will also have the opportunity to (re)discover three restored works by documentarian Frederick Wiseman.
Finally, Michael Douglas will once again tread the boards of Deauville as guest of honor for this anniversary edition.
