Lebanon produces a very large number of short films, and we see it as necessary to spotlight emerging talents in particular. The short film is often the first space in which a young director can experiment and find his or her own voice.
We wanted to give viewers more space and enable them to participate directly in the competition, by listening to their point of view and giving voice to their own vision of the films.
This edition was built as a journey through different generations of filmmakers, and through multiple ways of narrating Lebanon. We wanted to place very different films in dialogue with one another, addressing history, society and identity, but also highly personal and intimate stories.
