Life and career

Hinstin was born in France on 10 July 1977.[1] She studied at the universities of Paris and Padua.[2]

In 2021, Hinstin founded the production company Les Films du Saut du Tigre. From 2005 to 2009 she was a programmer for the French Academy in Rome – Villa Médicis,[3] she was deputy artistic director for Cinéma du réel International Festival at Centre Pompidou from 2010 to 2013.[4][5]

From 2013 to 2018 she was the artistic director of Entrevues Belfort International Film Festival.[6]

From December 2018 to September 2020, she was the artistic director of the Locarno Film Festival.[7][8] Under Hinstin, the festival shifted its course to a more eclectic line-up in aim to provide more equal representation of movies and directors, disregarding their genders and provenance.[9][10] Almost 40% of the selected features for the 2019th edition were directed by female filmmakers. Citing significant differences and diverging strategic views with the event's top management, she stepped down in September 2020.[11]

In 2019, she was one of the two French women with Sidonie Dumas included in the third edition of Variety500,[12] an index of the 500 most influential business leaders shaping the global media industry.

As of 2023, she was a member of the Organisation and Selection Committees of Villa Medici Film Festival[13] in Rome Italy, which first edition was held in September 2021; as well as the Programming Director of the Nouvelles Vagues film festival.[14][15]

Hinstin died on 31 March 2026, at the age of 48.[16]
