At the ceremony in Deauville, she was applauded for her role in producing a poignant documentary on racial inequality in the United States, a subject that resonates deeply with her heritage and family history. This work has established Malia as a new voice in the film industry.
Paris and Deauville, a strong cultural link
It’s interesting to note that American cinema occupies a privileged place in the Parisian cultural landscape. Every year, many of the films screened in Deauville are then shown inParisian art-house cinemas such as Cinéma Le Champo and Cinéma du Panthéon. Malia Obama’s presence in this artistic sphere also paves the way for possible future collaboration with French directors, strengthening the historic link between Paris and American cinema.
By following this path, Malia could well become a key figure not only in the United States, but also on the international scene, notably in Paris, a city ofcultural avant-garde.
