The Normandy coast has become Hollywood-sur-mer once again, as the annual film festival welcomes talent from the United States. FRANCE 24's Genie Godula takes time out from hosting the opening ceremony in Deauville to bring us an overview of the features screening there.

We hear about Ethan Hawke's latest historical drama, new films from Susan Sarandon and Nick Nolte, while Brendan Fraser and Faye Dunaway are being honoured with prizes for their careers in cinema.

Meanwhile, FRANCE 24's reporters take us for a behind-the-scenes look at George Lucas's brand-new Museum of Narrative Art in Los Angeles, and we sit down with Turkish director Emin Alper to hear more about his chilling drama "Salvation".
