NEW WAVE: The Cannes Film Festival may be done and dusted, but Chanel’s film community reunited in Paris for a dinner celebrating the third edition of the Biarritz Film Festival — Nouvelles Vagues.

Launched by veteran beauty communications executive Jérôme Pulis, the event dedicated to youth-focused films will run from June 24 to 29 in the seaside town on the Basque coast.

Guests mingled for cocktails on the terrace of Le Grand Café, the spectacular new restaurant inside the Grand Palais, the historic venue for Chanel’s large-scale fashion shows.

“We are very happy to support the festival in Biarritz at the end of June, but it is just as important for us to promote it beyond the Basque borders because we strongly believe in what it stands for,” Bruno Pavlovsky, president of fashion and president of Chanel SAS, said in a speech.

“For Chanel, fashion and cinema are art forms that nourish each other. This is why we have always supported artists and creators in their most intimate and most ambitious projects,” he added.

Actresses Ana Girardot, Virginie Ledoyen and Rebecca Marder were joined by filmmakers including Halfdan Ullmann Tøndel, the grandson of Ingmar Bergman and Liv Ullmann, who is presiding over this year’s jury in Biarritz after winning the Caméra d’Or at Cannes last year with his feature film debut “Armand.”

He was joined by several other members of the Nouvelles Vagues jury: actress Mallory Wanecque; photographer and model Malick Boudian; directors Ludovic and Zoran Boukherma, and French YouTuber and influencer Salima Poumbga, aka Crazy Sally.

The festival will kick off with a screening of “Nouvelle Vague,” Richard Linklater’s ode to the birth of French New Wave cinema, which premiered in Cannes with the support of Chanel.

The French fashion house worked with costume designer Pascaline Chavanne on looks for Zoey Deutch, who plays actress Jean Seberg in the French-language film, as well as singer Juliette Gréco, played by Alix Bénézech.

Longtime Chanel collaborator Sofia Coppola will be the guest of honor of the Biarritz festival with a screening on June 25 of her debut feature “The Virgin Suicides,” which celebrates its 25th anniversary this year. This will be followed by a talk with guests, including film students.

Indian director Neeraj Ghaywan’s film “Homebound,” also screened at Cannes, will be shown at the closing ceremony. Claire Nouvian, the founder and president of conservation nonprofit Bloom, will be present for a daylong session dedicated to protecting the oceans.

“The festival is now on solid foundations. It is growing and establishing itself over time. It is thanks to all of you that we can celebrate tonight and modestly commit to helping younger generations love cinema even more, to nourish it and build what it will be tomorrow,” Pulis said.
