This 47th edition offers meetings between the public and big names in American cinema such as Johnny Depp and Oliver Stone.
From September 3 to 12, festival-goers will discover films from the United States, but also from the Cannes selection and previews of French and foreign films such as "Dune" by Denis Villeneuve.
The jury for this 2021 edition is chaired by Charlotte Gainsbourg.
In 2020, the Deauville Festival had to do without American guests because of Covid-19.
This year, it is the big return of Hollywood stars on the Boards with, in particular, a meeting between the public and Johnny Depp this Sunday which promises to be fascinating as it has been rare for some time.
We hope that the questions will turn more on his career than on his marital concerns.
The actor of
Pirates of the Caribbean
and some of Tim Burton's great films will not be alone in going to Normandy for this 47th edition.
Figures of US cinema such as director Oliver Stone - who will meet spectators this Saturday - or comedian Michael Shannon (the villain of
The Shape of Water
) also responded.
From Friday until September 12, festival-goers will not only discover thirteen American films in competition but also a handful of feature films from the Cannes Film Festival and as many French premieres such as
Inexorable

Sex and stars
Even if they advance masked, the artists passing through the Deauville Festival are always ready to sign autographs on the red carpet, before the official screening of their film as last year. The smartest ones will watch out for the photocalls to immortalize them in the Festival Village, facing the sea. And the most cinephiles will not fail to book their daily or weekly pass on the Deauville US site to continue the fun in the theaters.
The screenings of
Red Rocket
by Sean Baker and
Se
