Nell Pietrzyk stuns Cannes in «Disaster Girl” gown as Fabia Mendoza’s feminist Mockumentary makes waves.
CANNES, FRANCE – 26 May 2025 – Actress Nell Pietrzyk made an unforgettable entrance at the Cannes Film Festival, turning heads in an oversized gown boldly printed with thewords “Disaster Girl.” It wasn’t just a viral fashion moment — it was a living preview of an upcoming mockumentary that’s already sparking global conversation.
The film, directed by award-winning filmmaker Fabia Mendoza, is a bold feminist satire that dives into the raw, chaotic, and hilariously honest story of a 42-year-old woman who decides to completely reinvent herself after a fortune teller declares her love life, family, and career are all doomed. That woman is Pietrzyk, and her alter ego — Disaster Girl — is a fearless embodiment of starting over without apology. 
Alexander Loch and Nell Pietrzyk attended the 2025 Cannes Film Festival for the premiere of EDDINGTON. As special guests, they enjoyed the event and introduced their upcoming 2026 film project, produced by Loch.
About the Film: DISASTER GIRL
Disaster Girl follows Nell, a 42-year-old actress defying fate after a fortune teller predicts lifelong bad luck. From Cannes to Berlin, she reinvents herself as a bold symbol for overlooked women.
Mixing documentary, satire, and emotion, the film explores identity, expectations, and womanhood with humor and heart — a voice for outsiders everywhere.

Set for a global release in 2026 via Cinema.one, Disaster Girl breaks the mockumentary mold by blurring the line between performance and reality. Featuring a dynamic cast including Frank Künster, Martin Eder, Fabrice de Rohan-Chabot, Balthazar and Gisela Getty, the film unfolds as a hybrid of cinema, social experiment, and performance art. It mirrors the unpredictable nature of real life while exploring the contradictions of modern womanhood.
Fabia Mendoza describes it best: “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.”
Backed by a growing online following and fueled by the viral Cannes appearance, this 90- minute feature is expected to be much more than entertainment — it’s the beginning of a cultural shift.
