The Saint-Jean-de-Luz Festival is celebrating its 10th anniversary. Discover the highlights and the selection. It will be held from October 2 to 8, 2023.
Anniversary edition for the Saint Jean de Luz Festival, which will be held from October 2 to 8, with, as every year, a great spotlight on first feature films, short films and previews of anticipated films.
One of the events will be the presentation of the first production of the favorite actor of the moment: Raphaël Quenard! The one who is currently a hit in Yannick at the cinema or Sentinelle on Prime Video will unveil his first short, The Actor in which he plays with Anthony Bajon. The film is a sort of true-false making-of of the film Junkyard Dog, which is released on VOD-DVD.
On the jury side, it will be chaired by Agnès Jaoui, who will also present the new film in which she plays with William Lebghil (also on the jury), La vie de ma Mère (closing film, out of competition). She will be surrounded by Guillaume de Tonquédec, Alysson Paradis, Sarah Suco and William Lebghil.
The opening film will be Les Rois de la piste, by Thierry Klifa, with Fanny Ardant, Mathieu Kassovitz and Nicolas Duvauchelle.
