About the Director
A writer, director, and photographer, Agathe Riedinger graduated from the École Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs de Paris (ENSAD). She experiments with different types of narration, balancing excess and irony—sometimes deliberately vulgar or surreal—to question a certain vision of the world and address themes close to her, such as emancipation and the female condition. She directed the short films J’attends Jupiter and Eve, both of which were selected for numerous festivals. Wild Diamond is her first feature film.
