Jeunet to head Deauville jury

American film festival runs Sept. 4-13

BRUSSELS -- “Amelie” helmer Jean-Pierre Jeunet will lead the jury at the Deauville American Film Festival, which unspools Sept. 4-13.

With a feature set to bow in October, Jeunet’s appearance will draw interest in Gaul. “Micmacs a tire-larigot” is an offbeat comedy starring Dany Boon (“Welcome to the Sticks”) as a man planning to destroy the arms industry.

The full program for the fest’s 35th edition will be unveiled July 21.
