CHABROL À BIARRITZ
Shot over thirty-six hours with MIT cinema students during the 15th International Festival of Audiovisual Programs, Chabrol à Biarritz offers an intimate portrait of Nouvelle Vague director Claude Chabrol, who was serving on the festival jury.
Spontaneous and unvarnished, the film captures Chabrol reflecting on language, modern cinema, nationalism, and the rising digital age. Interweaving his reflections on early cinematic giants—Sergei Eisenstein, Alfred Hitchcock, and Fritz Lang—with his own enduring creative obsession, the work stands as a lively conversation on the craft of cinema between a veteran auteur and a new generation of filmmakers.
