History

From 1^st to 10^th Sep­tem­ber 2000.
The Fes­ti­val took it upon itself to pay trib­ute to Hol­ly­wood Musi­cals, in the pres­ence of Leslie Caron, Joel Grey and Mick­ey Rooney. For the third time, the Fes­ti­val hon­oured one of its most faith­ful friends, Clint East­wood, along­side first-time trib­ute recip­i­ents Susan Saran­don, Dino de Lau­ren­tis, Chow Yun-fat (on the occa­sion of the pre­sen­ta­tion of the Amer­i­can film Crouch­ing Tiger, Hid­den Drag­on, direct­ed by Ang Lee) and Samuel L. Jack­son. Deauville wel­comed new tech­nolo­gies in ded­i­cat­ing a day to dig­i­tal cin­e­ma. This year’s event also saw the launch of CanalFes­ti­val, the offi­cial Fes­ti­val tele­vi­sion broadcast.
