Note from the Director

It is my pleasure to welcome you to the 7th edition of the Lebanese Film Festival in Canada!

We are thrilled to be back for 2023, and we have an amazing lineup of films for you to enjoy. Our team has worked hard to select the very best feature films, documentaries, and over 30 short films across a variety of categories. We are also excited to have some special guests joining us from Lebanon. They are big names in the cinema and theatre industry, and we can’t wait for you to meet them!

At LFFC, our goal is to showcase the finest examples of Lebanese cinema to Canadian audiences and encourage cross-cultural exchange. Driven by our love of art and dialogue, we are honored to be the leading destination for Lebanese cinema in Canada. Our program features a diverse range of offerings, including film screenings, workshops, panel discussions, special events, round tables, industry talks, and opportunities to connect with filmmakers from Lebanon, Canada, and beyond. We believe that these activities will foster greater understanding and appreciation for the unique voices and perspectives represented in Lebanese cinema.

For the past six years, we have remained committed to promoting intercultural conversations and shining a light on the new generation of Lebanese cinema and culture. This year’s edition is no different, and we look forward to creating a more engaged, informed, and connected world.

On behalf of our team, we warmly welcome you to the 7th edition of the LFFC.

Bon festival
