Lisa Diaz is a French writer and filmmaker 

working in both fiction and documentary.

Her first feature film, Libre Garance!, was presented at the Cannes Film Festival in 2022. It was subsequently screened at numerous festivals across Europe and internationally before its theatrical release in France.

She is currently developing several new projects: a feature film and a creation at the intersection of cinema and theatre, and a novel. She also leads filmmaking and writing workshops with a wide range of participants.

She is interested in the spaces where fiction and reality overlap, and in forms that allow cinema, writing and performance to influence one another.
