For the 32nd chapter of Miu Miu Women’s Tales, acclaimed French filmmaker Claire Denis steps behind the camera with Avec Kim, premiering at Venice Film Festival’s Giornate degli Autori on September 5, 2026.
Known for a cinema driven by sensation rather than explanation, Denis brings her deeply physical approach to the long-running film series. Her singular language — sensual, elliptical and instinctive — moves between narrative and abstraction, exploring desire, alienation and the complexities of human connection.
From Chocolat and Beau Travail to High Life and Stars at Noon, Denis has built a body of work defined by intimacy, movement and feeling. With Avec Kim, she joins the distinctive voices that have shaped Miu Miu Women’s Tales across 32 episodes and 16 years, continuing its celebration of female filmmakers and their singular ways of seeing the world.
