Note from the Director

Welcome to the 10th Edition of the Lebanese Film Festival in Canada – LFFC!

It fills me with joy and deep gratitude to welcome you to this year’s edition of the festival.

Ten years ago, this journey began as a dream. Today, it continues to grow, evolve, and bring people together through the powerful lens of cinema.

Every year brings something new, and this edition is no exception. We’re proud to introduce fresh programming, bold artistic voices, and memorable experiences. We’re also honored to welcome special guests across the globe. Their presence and insight bring even more depth and meaning to what we share together.

None of this would be possible without the support of our incredible team, the many passionate individuals who give their time and energy, and our generous partners. From cultural organizations to universities and film festivals across Canada and beyond, their commitment keeps this vision alive.

At LFFC, we believe cinema has the power to connect us, to heal us, and to remind us of the stories that shape who we are. This festival isn’t just about films. It’s about community, identity, and celebration. It’s about Lebanon, yes, but it’s also about all of us, coming together through the universal language of art.

Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for walking this path with us. Your trust and support mean everything. I can’t wait to share this year’s journey with you.

On behalf of our team, we welcome you to the 10th edition of the Lebanese Film Festival in Canada with much appreciation,

Enjoy the Festival.
