Agathe Riedinger
Biography
A graduate of the École Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs de Paris (ENSAD), Agathe Riedinger is an author, director, and photographer. She experiments with different types of narrative, between excess and irony, sometimes deliberately vulgar or surreal, to question a certain vision of the world and speak of themes that are dear to her, such as emancipation and the female condition. She directed the short films Waiting for Jupiter, nominated for the Best Short Film César Award in 2019, followed by Ève, selected at Clermont-Ferrand and Sarajevo, among other film festivals. Her debut feature, Wild Diamond, was presented in Competition at the Cannes Film Festival 2024. The film won the Critics' Prize at the Namur International French-Language Film Festival and earned its lead actress, Malou Khebizi, interpretation prizes at the Stockholm and Namur festivals. It has already been sold in nearly twenty five territories, including Germany, Spain, the United States, and Italy.
