Linklater and his DP apparently used an Arri 2C to film the 35mm sections of Nouvelle Vague. The film also features the Cameflex, the one that Jean Painlevé loaned to Godard to shoot Breathless. Although its used only as a prop in Linklater's film.

Back in 2018-19, I used to work in Film Restoration at the Panlevé archives and there was his Cameflex stored in the downstairs storage area. My boss claimed that it was the one that was used on Breathless. There was no way to verify that claim though.
