Celebrating independent American cinema
Since 1975, the Deauville Film Festival has been showcasing the diversity of American cinema, from major Hollywood productions to independent films. Its demanding programme has brought to light works that have left their mark on cinema: Little Odessa by James Gray, Darren Aronofsky’s Pi, Tom DiCillo’s It’s All Over Manhattan, Spike Jonze’s Being John Malkovich, Christopher Nolan’s Memento, Todd Solondz’s Welcome to the Dark Ages, Paul Haggis’s Collision, John Cameron Mitchell’s Hedwig and the Angry Inch, Little Miss Sunshine by Valérie Faris & Jonathan Dayton, Take Shelter by Jeff Nichols, Whiplash by Damien Chazelle, Captain Fantastic by Matt Ross, Beasts of the Wild South by Ben Zeitlin, A Ghost Story by David Lowery…
The Louis Roederer Foundation has a very far-reaching, uncompromising and admirable ambition for its missions: supporting excellence, expertise, discovery and taste; making contemporary creativity accessible to as many people as possible, with a constant concern for the public. It is a formidable ambassador for the values of tolerance, openness to the world and faith in creativity, and that’s what makes each collaboration with it unique and a vector for harmony.
