MIU MIU WOMEN’S TALES #30 DIRECTOR’S ANNOUNCEMENT – ALICE DIOP

FRAGMENTS FOR VENUS

Directed by Alice Diop

“I’ve been making films from the margins, with a political intention of filming those margins, because those are the people I come from. That’s my territory, my history.”

“Fragments for Venus is an essential film to make at this time. It is my most simple and

radical work to date.”

Alice Diop

Miu Miu is pleased to announce Alice Diop, acclaimed French filmmaker, as director of

the 30th chapter of the Miu Miu Women’s Tales film series with her episode “Fragments for Venus.”

The movie will premiere at the Venice Film Festival’s Giornate degli Autori on August 30th.

Alice Diop is known for incisive documentaries on marginalized communities, including La Permanence and Vers la tendresse. Her fiction debut, Saint Omer (2022), inspired by a real-life infanticide trial, won major prizes at Venice. With echoes of Akerman’s Jeanne Dielman, the film is a formally exacting meditation on motherhood, migration, and justice—what Céline Sciamma called a “cinema poem.”

Over 15 years and 30 unique episodes, Miu Miu Women’s Tales is the longest running commissioning platform of female-led short films. Directed by today’s most distinctive female filmmakers, every Tale is a beautiful, relevant world inhabited by women’s idiosyncratic imaginations. Across two decades and every continent, Women’s Tales has evolved and enriched in scope and meaning, mirroring.

《FRAGMENTS FOR VENUS》

由Alice Diop執導

「我一直製作有關社會邊緣人士的電影，那是一個抱有政治意圖的選擇，因為我來自這群人當中，那是我的領域、我的歷史。」

「《Fragments for Venus》是這個時代不可或缺的電影，亦是我目前為止最簡單直接、激進的作品。」

Alice Diop

Miu Miu隆重宣佈法國著名電影人Alice Diop執導Miu Miu《女人的故事》短片系列第30章《Fragments for Venus》。

Alice Diop以尖銳角度拍攝邊緣社群紀錄片而打響名堂，作品包括《La Permanence》和《Vers la tendresse》。其首部劇情片《母罪假定》(Saint Omer，2022年) 以真實的殺嬰案審訊為藍本，在威尼斯勇奪多項大獎。這部電影與Akerman的《主婦日誌》(Jeanne Dielman) 一脈相承，是形式上對母性、移民議題及公義的深刻反思，獲Céline Sciamma形容為「電影詩篇」。
