Paris -- American producers will break bread with the creme-de-la-creme of Gaul's film industry when French Producers' Guild the Apc, the Deauville Film Festival and the Hollywood Reporter host a star-studded lunch at Cartier's Villa in Deauville on Saturday, Sept 12.
The lunch will focus on the Apc's new "American & International Desk" designed in response to the "Trip" tax rebate for foreign production passed by the French government earlier this year.
The A & I Desk aims to promote an exchange between foreign and French film execs and develop new business opportunities for international projects with locations in France. The Deauville lunch marks the A & I Desk's first official matchmaking event since its launch over the summer.

DINARD, France -- Director Peter Webber's visually striking film Girl With a Pearl Earring, starring Colin Firth and Scarlett Johannson, won the top Hitchcock D'Or award on Sunday, at the 14th Dinard Festival of British Films. The film, which was produced by Andy Paterson and Anand Tucker and will be distributed in France by Pathe International, was expected to bag the Dinard audience award, and it did. Inspired by the enigmatic painting of the same name by 17th century Dutch painter Johannes Vermeer, the film was a "technical tour de force," according to French producer Charles Gassot, who headed the jury of eight. The anonymous girl in the painting and the fact that there is little on record of the Dutch master's life, has generated centuries of historical speculation and three recent books. The film is based on Tracy Chevalier's eponymous tale of a young girl, Griet, who finds work in Vermeer's prosperous Delft household in the 1660s, after her family loses its fortune. The 16-year old girl attracts the master painter's attention and becomes his model until she is driven out of the house by the painter's jealous, perpetually pregnant wife and his meddling mother-in-law.
