Moira Pictures is a company belonging to the Groupo Arts dedicated to audiovisual distribution that is committed to innovation, current affairs and groundbreaking narratives.
Moira Pictures owes its name to Greek mythology, to the Moiras, who were the personifications of destiny. The Greek word moira means “destiny”, “part”, “lot” or “portion”, in reference to their function of weaving the destiny that corresponds to each mortal in the evolution of the cosmos.
