The Tripoli Film festival is a cinematic event conceived to ameliorate the image of the city with three main objectives:

• Enriching our local cultural environment in Tripoli.
• Promoting the rich cultural heritage of Tripoli and its local artists.
• Branding and Marketing Tripoli and its region as a highly promising tourist destination.

After a first edition held against all odds in 2014 with an international selection of films, the second edition came with its load of international guests. The next editions brought together international film selections, distinguished international guests and international juries… In 2020 an online edition was organized due the COVID pandemic. Each year edition brings new challenges on both networking and financial levels, and the most important one is keeping up with a high standard of professional organization. we are committed to keep the level of excellence that we were only able to reach with the support of our partners, sponsors, staff and volunteers.

Tripoli Film Festival has achieved in September 2022 its 9th edition.
