About the project

The Biarritz Film Festival - NOUVELLES VAGUES commitment is to reveal the next gen film talents through a slate of films that are all about young people’s narratives and sense of urgency.

Gathered in Biarritz for five days, a jury of international artists under 35, a jury of international film school students and a jury of 18-25 years old  will attend indoor and outdoor screenings, exhibitions, and meetings with special guests together with the audience.

With an international competition of 8 feature films directed by promising or established directors, the five days of the festival will showcase meetings with industry members, debates about the
industry’s topical issues, workshops with major filmmakers.

Nouvelle Vagues is a living film experience, a unique festival where the present is filtered through the future.
