Clément Pinteaux : 2017
Young Girls Vanish
A historical mystery approached in a postmodern fashion: Between 1652 and 1657, fifty-eight girls were devoured by a wolf in Essone, France. Four centuries later, young women are once again disappearing in the same region. Director Clément Pinteaux sets out in search of clues. Crosses on a map indicate the locations where the girls were attacked and found so long ago. Landscapes in fog and rain. A young woman talks about the woman who went missing – a woman who is similar to her and yet different and whose work she continues today. Pinteaux observes the girls in their surroundings, together, on the job. Who will be next? Will there be a next time? Situated between staged and documentary material, the film encounters the girls on an equal footing – tracing moments of potential threat. Clément Pinteaux's short film premiered at Belfort Entrevues Film Festival 2017, and screened at Berlin International Film Festival 2018.
