Deauville Festival Honors Paul Newman’s Centenary

Deauville Festival 2025 will honour the late Paul Newman’s centenary with a ceremony and film screenings, attended by his daughter Clea Newman. The 51th Deauville American Film Festival will dedicate a special ceremony to Paul Newman on Wednesday 10 September 2025, marking the centenary of his birth. This tribute will be attended by his daughter, Clea Newman, who has long been an ambassador for her father’s artistic and humanitarian legacy. Several of the actor’s landmark films will also be screened during the festival. Actor of legend, respected director, racing driver and philanthropist, Paul Newman (1925–2008) embodied the rare ability to combine celebrity with social engagement. On the occasion of the hundredth anniversary of his birth, Deauville has chosen to celebrate this figure of Hollywood. https://youtu.be/AzogcorjLOI?si=JG1ct528-DZzpffo Born on January 26, 1925, in Shaker Heights, Ohio, Newman began his career on stage, touring with theatre companies before moving to New York, where he appeared on Broadway and studied at Lee Strasberg’s Actors' Studio. His breakthrough came in 1958 with Tennessee Williams' Cat on a Hot Tin Roof , directed by Richard Brooks, opposite Elizabeth Taylor. The role earned him his first Academy Award nomination. In 1961, he portrayed pool hustler “Fast Eddie” Felson in The Hustler by Robert Rossen, a role he would reprise twenty-five years later in Martin Scorsese’s The Color of Money , which brought him the Oscar for Best Actor. Throughout his career, Newman worked with leading filmmakers including Alfred Hitchcock, Robert Altman, Sidney Lumet, Sydney Pollack, James Ivory, Joel Coen and Sam Mendes. Among his most celebrated roles are Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969) and Cool Hand Luke (1967), which cemented his reputation as one of the defining screen icons of his generation. https://youtu.be/ZSxMEV18Ugk?si=Yfsg7N--jLp3c_NE Directing Newman also directed several films. His debut, Rachel, Rachel (1968), starred his wife Joanne Woodward, received Academy Award nominations and won him a Golden Globe for Best Director. He went on to direct Sometimes a Great Notion (1971), The Effect of Gamma Rays on Man-in-the-Moon Marigolds (1972), Harry & Son (1984) and, returning to Tennessee Williams, The Glass Menagerie (1987). This work confirmed his position as a versatile figure in American cinema. On the Track Away from the screen, Newman cultivated a passion for auto racing. He competed professionally from the early 1970s, participating in major endurance races such as Le Mans and Daytona, and co-owned the successful Newman/Haas Racing team in the CART series. This lifelong enthusiasm earned him respect as both a driver and a team owner in the motorsport community. Giving Back Beyond film and racing, Newman became known for his commitment to humanitarian causes. In 1982, he created Newman’s Own, a food company donating all profits to charity. Over the years, the foundation has distributed more than 600 million dollars to organisations worldwide. He also founded the SeriousFun Children’s Network, which offers free medically supervised camps for children with serious illnesses. In France, the organisation L’ENVOL, a member of this network, has since 1997 provided holidays and respite breaks to more than 40,000 children and their families. Newman was equally outspoken about social and political issues, supporting civil rights, environmental causes and progressive candidates. He also advocated for the rehabilitation of people struggling with alcoholism and drug addiction, underlining his belief in second chances and human dignity. The presence of Clea Newman will give the ceremony personal resonance. As custodian of her father’s legacy, she continues to promote the charitable projects he initiated, ensuring their relevance for new generations. https://youtu.be/cxKUupk0kbY?si=g7HJfF_N0fxaO8td https://youtu.be/YdJW2UxvSFQ?si=_1BIYpw9E6FqFiN-

Back to Hogwarts!

The first of September every year is celebrated as Back to Hogwarts Day by fans of the Harry Potter saga. That's the day each year that the students of Hogwarts School go to the mysterious Platform Nine-and-three-quarters at King's Cross Station in London to get on the Hogwarts Express steam train to school. In this clip from Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, Harry is perplexed as to how to get onto this mysterious platform (which is only visible to wizards.) While trying to find out, he meets his future best friend, Ron Weasley, and his family. https://youtu.be/x4hyAAV1kwQ The real King's Cross Station in London is a magnet for Harry Potter fans every day of the year, and especially on 1 September. While the station authorities haven't managed to create a magical extra platform, they evoke it by having a luggage trolley that appears to disappear into a wall, as the the Hogwarts students' trolleys do. On 1 September, there are gatherings organised at King's Cross of course, but also around the world. There are quizzes, costumes and guest appearances from stars of the film. In France, fans can sign up for free to participate in quizzes and games about the saga at the historic Bibliothèque Sainte Geneviève in Paris on 30 August. There will also be an online version coming soon. Keep an eye on the Back to Hogwarts page for updated event information.
