Le Festival
The Biarritz Film Festival – NOUVELLES VAGUES aims to shine a spotlight on youth and new generations through a program that embodies the stories and urgency of young people.
For 6 days, the Biarritz Film Festival – NOUVELLES VAGUES presents an international competition composed of 8 feature films never before released in French theaters, highlighting youth, its stories, its hopes, and its power. Alongside the official competition, the Festival screens over thirty films, including an open-air screening.
Gathered in Biarritz, a jury of international artists under 35, an international jury of film school students, and a jury of young beneficiaries of the Culture Pass will share screenings, discussions, and exhibitions with the general public
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.
I am thrilled to welcome the brand-new Biarritz International Film Festival that is in line with my own commitment to young people and Biarritz residents. Welcoming Nouvelles Vagues is about embracing the possibilities opening up to us and supporting the film industry as we always have.
