1996 • 22nd edition

From 30th August to 8th Sep­tem­ber 1996.
Bri­an de Pal­ma’s film Mis­sion Impos­si­ble was pre­sent­ed at the Open­ing, fol­lowed, lat­er dur­ing the Fes­ti­val and in a riotous atmos­phere, by Roland Emmerich’s Inde­pen­dence Day. Two trib­utes were paid, one to film­mak­er Abel Fer­rara and the oth­er to pro­duc­er Arnon Milchan. Also in Deauville, were Gena Row­lands, Andie Mac­Dow­ell, Eddie Mur­phy, Kevin Spacey, Kurt Rus­sell, Christo­pher Walken… and Gérard Depar­dieu. The Fes­ti­val staged a “Jazz in Cin­e­ma” ret­ro­spec­tive. Encoun­ters between Amer­i­can direc­tors and scriptwrit­ers and stu­dents from French cin­e­ma schools were orga­nized dur­ing the Fes­ti­val: the new “Cin­e­ma Workshops”.
