Zoey Deutch, Hollywood Rising-Star Award

Hol­ly­wood Ris­ing-Star Award at the 51^st Deauville Film Festival

The Deauville Amer­i­can Film Fes­ti­val is pleased to announce that actress Zoey Deutch will receive an Hol­ly­wood Rais­ing-Star Award at its 51^st edi­tion. Each year, this dis­tinc­tion hon­ors an emerg­ing fig­ure in Amer­i­can cin­e­ma whose career, act­ing and artis­tic choic­es embody the renew­al of the 7^th art.

After Mikey Madi­son, hon­ored in 2024 and recent­ly award­ed an Oscar for her role in Sean Bak­er’s Ano­ra, Deauville con­tin­ues its mis­sion of reveal­ing the tal­ents of tomor­row by con­se­crat­ing Zoey Deutch, whose tra­jec­to­ry is impres­sive for its coher­ence and audacity.

Since her debut, Zoey Deutch has estab­lished her­self as a promis­ing actress of unde­ni­able cin­e­mat­ic genius. Revealed in such strong, eclec­tic works as Ry Rus­so- Young’s Before I Fall, Ruben Fleis­cher’s Zom­bieland: Dou­ble Tap, Max Winkler’s Flower, Ryan Mur­phy’s The Politi­cian series, Richard Linklater’s Every­body Wants Some, Claire Scalon’s hit roman­tic come­dies Set It Up and Tanya Wexler’s Buf­faloed, and Gra­ham Moore’s styl­ish thriller The Out­fit. Oth­er recent films include Clint East­wood’s Juror #2, in which she stars along­side Nicholas Hoult and Toni Col­lette, as well as Quinn Shep­hard’s Not Okay and Daryl Wein’s Some­thing from Tiffany’s, both of which she also exec­u­tive pro­duced. Deutch also made her Broad­way debut last Fall as Emi­ly Webb in Our Town.

On this occa­sion, the actress will present a spe­cial pre­miere of Richard Lin­klater’s new fea­ture, Nou­velle Vague. With grace, imper­ti­nence and humor, she plays the Amer­i­can star Jean Seberg, and impos­es an act­ing tal­ent that goes beyond the sim­ple art of mim­ic­ry, embody­ing a free-spir­it­ed, icon­ic woman of the 60s who is truer than life.

A true bridge between Amer­i­can and French cin­e­ma, between Austin and Paris, this film is Richard Lin­klater’s fair and mali­cious trib­ute to Jean-Luc Godard, to youth, to cre­ation and to the spir­it of free­dom of the Nou­velle Vague.

Hol­ly­wood Ris­ing-Star Award cer­e­mo­ny will be fol­lowed by a screen­ing of Nou­velle Vague, in the pres­ence of Zoey Deutch, at the Fes­ti­val on Sep­tem­ber 12, 2025.
