Artists Jury

For its 4th edition, the Biarritz Film Festival - NOUVELLES VAGUES is honored to entrust the presidency of its Jury to actress and filmmaker Kristen Stewart. Leading a jury composed of international personalities and artists, she will discover the films of the International Feature Film Competition, whose central theme - stories of youth - lies more than ever at the heart of the Festival.

At the Biarritz Film Festival - NOUVELLES VAGUES, youth is seen as a state of the world: a moment of effervescence, transformation and creation, where we build, question and invent in dialogue with the issues of our time.

Kristen Stewart fully embodies this spirit. Actress and filmmaker, she belongs to a generation of artists redefining the contours of contemporary cinema. From her breakthrough beginnings to her collaborations with leading figures of independent film, she has built a singular career shaped by bold choices. 

Through her independence, her appetite for risk and her artistic freedom, Kristen Stewart naturally reflects the spirit that drives the Biarritz Film Festival - NOUVELLES VAGUES: celebrating a young, vibrant cinema in constant reinvention.
