From 31^st August to 9^th Sep­tem­ber 2007.
The cream of Hol­ly­wood arranged to meet up this year in Deauville: Angeli­na Jolie, Eva Mendes, Michelle Mon­aghan, Gena Row­lands, Til­da Swin­ton, the year’s recip­i­ent of trib­ute Sigour­ney Weaver, Ben and Casey Affleck, Judd Apa­tow, George Clooney, Matt Damon, Bri­an De Pal­ma, Michael Dou­glas and Sid­ney Lumet – to both of whom the Fes­ti­val was pay­ing trib­ute for the sec­ond time - Peter and Bob­by Far­rel­ly, Paul Hag­gis, Brad Pitt…! With a first trib­ute to the actress Ida Lupino, the Fes­ti­val decid­ed to hon­our Amer­i­can cinema’s her­itage by pay­ing trib­ute to those who had con­tributed to its pres­tige. It also offered fes­ti­val­go­ers a chance to con­tin­ue wide-awake dream­ing: night and day, with the sup­port of the French Ciné­math­èque, it screened films from Amer­i­can her­itage dur­ing the “Amer­i­can Nights”. To date, Deauville is the only fes­ti­val in the world to offer such a pro­gram of con­tin­u­ous round-the-clock screenings!
