The Festival's Team

The programming of the Biarritz Film Festival - NOUVELLES VAGUES is committed to listening to and showcasing what excites younger generations. It bets on the future of cinema by promoting the talents of tomorrow while also embracing the cinephilia of established filmmakers who are shaping the history of cinema.

Lili Hinstin, Programming Director

Shedding light on youth so they can enlighten us in return is the very essence of Nouvelles Vagues, a joyful and effervescent event for a unique cinematic experience.

Sandrine Brauer, General Delegate

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.
