HARRISON FORD will be the star at this year's (09) American film festival in Deauville, France - as the organisers' guest of honour.
The Indiana Jones star, 67, will be feted at the 35th annual seaside event attended by a long list of Hollywood heavyweights, including Robin Wright Penn - who will receive a special tribute from festival organisers.
Deauville will also pay a posthumous hommage to American director Robert Aldrich, who helmed acclaimed films The Dirty Dozen and What Ever Happened to Baby Jane before his death in 1983.
Amelie director Jean-Pierre Jeunet is chairman of the jury at the 10-day festival, which kicks off on 3 September (09).
