The most popular movie festival in France is in Cannes, of course. Besides movies, people can enjoy sun and sea.But there is another movie festival, on the other side of France, which is not that different. Only its size.
Recently I decided to visit Deauville, one nice and small coast city in north of France. Very popular during summer but also during its famous American Film Festival.
As you can imagine, at this festival you only have american productions, from movies to TV shows.
I had the opportunity to discover some premieres like "Waking Sleeping Beauty" (a documentary about Disney), "Charlie St. Cloud" (a cheesy movie for teenagers) and "Buried" (one of the best thrillers in recent years). More details in my Tweeter ;-)
The movie festival at Cannes is very elitist, not very open to the public audience. Deauville festival is the opposite, they try to catch general public attention by selling 1-day or 1-week passes. Still, some movies are invitation only.It was a weekend of sun, wind (a very windy region) and movies. There were other highlights, but I leave that for another post. :-P

It's touching to see those American flags flying there. :)
