Fresh from the Cannes Film Festival,  Wild Diamond is a reflection on the need to be seen in a world of appearances. Liane, 19, lives with her mother and little sister in a suburban village in the south of France, a reality she hides from her tens of thousands of followers on social media. Agathe Riedinger sets out to show the person behind her online image: a girl full of ferocity who seeks to escape her own life and become ‘somebody’ by competing in a reality show. With a realistic approach and full of humanism, Wild Diamond shows the fragility of the masks we build for ourselves and sheds light on a youth traversed by the anxiety of the ego culture. A powerful debut that, not surprisingly, was the only debut film competing this year for the Palme d'Or.
Agathe Riedinger

A graduate of the École Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs de Paris (ENSAD), Agathe Riedinger is a writer, director and photographer. She experiments with different types of narration, between excess and irony, sometimes deliberately vulgar or surreal, to question a certain vision of the world, and speak of themes dear to her heart, such as emancipation and the female condition. She directed the short films ‘J’attends Jupiter’ (2018) and ‘Eve’ (2019), both of which were selected in numerous festivals. ‘Wild Diamond’, her first feature film, premiered in competition in the Official Selection at Cannes Film Festival.
