Le Festival
The Biarritz Film Festival – NOUVELLES VAGUES was born from a strong conviction: that cinema is renewed above all through youth — through its stories, perspectives, doubts, and anger, but also through its energy, drive, and aspirations.
Over six days, the festival presents an international feature film competition and an international short film competition, showcasing films that have not yet been theatrically released in France and that highlight young people, their stories, hopes, and creative energy. Alongside the official competition, the festival screens more than thirty films, including a free open-air screening accessible to all.
A feature film jury and a short film jury are brought together in Biarritz, both composed of international artists under the age of 35, alongside a jury of young beneficiaries of the French Pass Culture program. Through screenings, talks, and exhibitions, they share their perspectives and experiences with the public throughout the festival.
My attachment to creation goes hand in hand with my deep roots in my hometown, Biarritz and the Basque Country. Rich in many artists, the city has historically been cosmopolitan, open to the world.
