The Fuzzy Lines Between High Art and Hollywood Blockbusters The Deauville Film Festival's focus on American cinema has sparked a conversation about what constitutes "good" film.
With over 500 films produced annually in the US, it's no surprise that some of these movies make their way onto the big screen. However, does being from America automatically qualify them as art?
The festival's emphasis raises questions about the value we place on cultural production. The notion that a film's quality is tied to its country of origin is simplistic and problematic.
