Portrait by Brianna Saba


Greta Díaz Moreau grew up in a small village in rural Spain, an environment that continues to shape her filmmaking. Her work is emotionally driven and visually bold, focusing on female desire and shame within repressive social landscapes. She is particularly drawn to stories centered on bodies in tension, intimate power dynamics, and humor that punches you in the gut.

She holds a B.A. in Film Directing from ESCAC and an M.F.A. in Directing from Columbia University, and is currently based in New York.

Her latest short film, Loquita Por Ti, premiered at Palm Springs International ShortFest in 2025, where it received a Special Mention for Best International Student Film. The film went on to screen at the 70th Seminci Film Festival, Slamdance, Clermont-Ferrand, and beyond, winning Best Short, Best Directing, Best Female Actress and Best Costumes at Cortogenia 2025. Loquita Por Ti was also awarded the Sarah Jones Safety Grant and named a 2025 National Board of Review Student Grant Winner.

Greta is currently on the directing faculty at Northwestern University’s NHSI Cherubs Program in Chicago and serves as an adjunct undergraduate film professor at Columbia University.
