A fourth-order dispersive flow equation for closed curves on the canonical two-dimensional unit sphere arises in some contexts in physics and fluid mechanics. In this paper, a geometric generalization of the sphere-valued model is considered, where the solutions are supposed to take values in compact Riemann surfaces. As a main result, time-local existence and uniqueness of a solution to the initial value problem are established under the assumption that the sectional curvature of the Riemann surface is constant. The analytic difficulty comes from the so-called loss of derivatives and the absence of the local smoothing effect. The proof is based on the geometric energy method combined with a kind of gauge transformation to eliminate the loss of derivatives. Specifically, to show the uniqueness of the solution, the detailed geometric analysis of the solvable structure for the equation is presented.
