*In competition for the Young Jury Award
Bold, temperamental, loud and obsessed with becoming famous, 19-year-old Liane is every reality show producer’s dream candidate. When she finally gets an audition for the show Miracle Island, in which 15 young and handsome people live together in a beach house, it seems that success is around the corner. The first film by French director Agatha Riedinger is a sharp look at today’s culture of instant stars, social networks and influencers, in which to be seen means to exist, and fulfilment can only be achieved by finding the holy grail of fame. The film premiered in the main competition at Cannes.
Agathe Riedinger is a film director, screenwriter and photographer. She graduated from ENSAD in Paris, and Wild Diamond is her first feature film. In her films, she experiments with different forms of storytelling, combining excess and irony, vulgarity and the surreal, in order to question established ways of looking at the world. Her focus is often on themes of emancipation and the female condition.
