The birth of a new festival dedicated to youth! The bias of the Biarritz International Film Festival – New Waves is to tell the story of youth and build on its vision through a unique proposal: films that present the stories of youth, judged by a jury of artists under 35 and an international jury. Students from major film schools.
Nouvelles vague aims to highlight the young generation, its vision and its power, where the future takes root. Youth is the future written in the present and during the festival the present will merge with the future. Stories of heroes aged 12 to 35 will be at the center of the festival program and professional sections. The trophy awarded to the winners was designed by Ecole Boulle students.
Educate the youth so that they in turn can educate us with the works of both established and emerging directors and reveal the faces of tomorrow, this is the challenge of the Biarritz International Film Festival, its raison d’être.
Jérôme Pulis, Festival President and Founder, Sandrine Brauer, General Delegate and Lily Hinsin, Director of Programming
Indoor and outdoor screenings, concerts, exhibitions around the theme and meetings with guests of honor make the five-day city of Biarritz an unprecedented international cultural event and the atmosphere of a collective and joyful cinema experience.
It is in Biarritz, the mythical capital of surfing, located in the Basque country on the Atlantic coast, that international talents will come to share their vision in a fluid and continuous conversation between generations, consisting of exchange and transmission.
The first edition of the Biarritz International Film Festival – New Waves will take place from June 28 to July 2, 2023 in Biarritz.
