With an impressive selection of both established and up-and-coming female directors, the festival aims to showcase the diverse and talented voices of women in the film industry. From thought-provoking documentaries to heart-wrenching dramas, the lineup includes a wide range of genres and styles.
In addition to the film screenings, the festival will also host panel discussions and Q&A sessions. On 23rd January 2023, the director Chloé Mazlo will present her film “Skies of Lebanon” to the audience. The film was selected at Semaine de la Critique at the Cannes Film Festival in 2020. A poetic blending of the personal and political, Skies of Lebanon combines live action with animation to create a vivid picture of Lebanon, inspired by the family history of the director. Using stories told to her by her grandmother of life during the Lebanese Civil War, Mazlo crafts a touching and heartbreaking story of love during wartime.
