CANNES, FRANCE – 26 May 2025 – Actress Nell Pietrzyk made a striking impression at this year’s Cannes Film Festival, stepping onto the red carpet in an oversized gown emblazoned with the phrase “Disaster Girl.” More than a fashion statement, her appearance doubled as a living teaser for an upcoming mockumentary that’s already gaining international buzz.
Directed by acclaimed filmmaker Fabia Mendoza, Disaster Girl is a fearless feminist satire chronicling the chaotic yet empowering journey of a 42-year-old woman who decides to completely reinvent her life — all after a fortune teller warns her that her love life, career, and family are destined for ruin. Pietrzyk stars in the lead role, embodying the character “Disaster Girl,” a bold symbol of unapologetic reinvention.

Set for global release in 2026 through Cinema.one, the film pushes the boundaries of the mockumentary genre, blending scripted scenes with real-life spontaneity. With a cast that includes Frank Künster, Martin Eder, Balthazar, and Gisela Getty, the 90-minute feature plays like a fusion of cinema, social experiment, and avant-garde performance. It captures the messy, often contradictory realities of womanhood today.
As Mendoza puts it, “Disaster Girl isn’t just a film — it’s a statement. A mirror for anyone who’s ever felt like a disaster and turned it into art.”
With Pietrzyk’s Cannes appearance going viral and anticipation building across social media, Disaster Girl is poised to be more than just a film — it’s the spark of a new cultural movement.
