The Revelation Jury

If the Deauville Festival’s main com­pe­ti­tion syn­the­sizes the event’s artis­tic ambi­tions, the Rev­e­la­tion Jury sketch­es its future. What greater mis­sion than to unveil the tal­ents of tomor­row, the unknowns who will become the next great Amer­i­can filmmakers ?

Six jury mem­bers will con­vene this year under the lead­er­ship of Élodie Bouchez, an actress whose face encap­su­lates the breadth of French cin­e­ma and whose per­son­al­i­ty embod­ies a career marked by tal­ent and dis­tinc­tion, pre­cious qual­i­ties for her mis­sion as Jury President.

She will be joined by per­son­al­i­ties all unique unto them­selves, promis­ing a spir­it­ed choice of win­ner: the dancer, actress and mul­ti­tal­ent­ed direc­tor Andréa Bescond, her­self Best New­com­er at the 2019 Molière Awards; Eddy de Pret­to, a writer, com­pos­er and actor whose voice has infused French chan­son with fresh­ness and free­dom; Nico­las Paris­er, a pio­neer­ing film­mak­er who has revi­tal­ized the French polit­i­cal film genre in sin­gu­lar fash­ion; Agathe Rous­selle, a thun­der­ing rev­e­la­tion in Julia Ducournau’s Titane, Palme d’Or win­ner at the 2021 Cannes Film Fes­ti­val; and Yolande Zauber­man, a mul­ti­dis­ci­pli­nary artist whose work is shot through with a pro­found sense of bold­ness and necessity.

They will col­lec­tive­ly hand out the Louis Roed­er­er Foun­da­tion Rev­e­la­tion Prize at the clos­ing cer­e­mo­ny on Sep­tem­ber 10^th.
