CANNES, FRANCE – 26 May 2025 – Actress Nell Pietrzyk turned heads at the Cannes Film Festival with a show-stopping appearance in an oversized gown boldly emblazoned with the words “Disaster Girl.” More than just a viral fashion moment, her look served as a live preview of a highly anticipated mockumentary already igniting conversations worldwide.
The film, directed by award-winning filmmaker Fabia Mendoza, is a fearless feminist satire that follows the chaotic, funny, and unfiltered journey of a 42-year-old woman who decides to rebuild her life from scratch after a fortune teller predicts doom in her love life, family, and career. Pietrzyk plays this woman — a persona she calls “Disaster Girl” — symbolizing the power of unapologetic reinvention.

Scheduled for global release in 2026 through Cinema.one, Disaster Girl reinvents the mockumentary genre by blending fiction and reality. With a cast that includes Frank Künster, Martin Eder, Balthazar, and Gisela Getty, the film unfolds as a mix of narrative cinema, performance art, and social experiment — reflecting the unpredictable nature of real life while delving into the complexities of modern womanhood.
As Mendoza puts it: “Disaster Girl isn’t just a film — it’s a statement. It’s a mirror for anyone who’s ever felt like a disaster and transformed it into art.”
With a growing digital fanbase and a Cannes debut that’s gone viral, this 90-minute feature promises to be more than a movie — it signals the rise of a new cultural movement.
