From Deauville to the César Awards, it’s just one step!

The con­nec­tion between the Deauville Amer­i­can Film Fes­ti­val and the César Awards is once again con­firmed: films show­cased on the Nor­mandy coast con­tin­ue their jour­ney toward the high­est hon­ors of French cinema.

NINO by Pauline Loquès: a rising talent confirmed

Win­ner of the Ornano-Valen­ti Prize at the 51^st Deauville Film Fes­ti­val, NINO by Pauline Loquès reached a new mile­stone by win­ning two awards at the 51^st César Awards ceremony:

🏆 Best First Film

🏆 Most Promis­ing Actor for Théodore Pellerin

These acco­lades fur­ther rec­og­nize a film already praised in Deauville for its sen­si­tiv­i­ty and the accu­ra­cy of its perspective.
