Cinema Rally
in Deauville
Cult lines, scene shooting and festival-style challenges… live your own adventure, where team spirit and creativity are the real stars.
Deauville and the seventh art
In the footsteps of the American Film Festival
Deauville has been inseparable from cinema since 1975. Through the town, its lanes, the Planches, the Casino, follow in the footsteps of the American Film Festival, solve film-buff riddles, discover legendary filming locations and anecdotes about the stars who have walked the Normandy red carpet. But this time, it’s your turn to play: step into the shoes of film directors and get in front of the camera to shoot your own scenes!
A playful, cultural and lightly sporty format, perfect as a complement to a seminar afternoon in Deauville.
“Deauville tells its story differently when you discover it through its stars and film shoots.”
