TRIPOLI FILM INDUSTRY DAYS
MESSAGE FROM THE ORGANIZER
FATMA RACHA SHEHADEH | Forum Coordinator

Every film is difficult. Making films, you’re always going to have problems, there’s always going to be challenges - Alfonso Cuarón


Every film presents its unique set of challenges. This truth holds for both professionals and aspiring creators.
The question arises: how much more daunting must it be for young filmmakers from the Arab world?
In response, our TFF forum emerged to narrow the gap between emerging talents in Tripoli and Lebanon and the industry experts across the Arab world. We stand firm in our belief that building bridges among filmmakers fosters creativity and innovation. Furthermore, our Arab Shorts pitching platform, now in its second edition, stands resolute in its purpose - to empower Lebanese and Arab filmmakers, offering a modest push that they might need to bring their short films to life. This year, with great joy, we extend a warm welcome to an even more exceptional edition of the TFF Forum. We hope that you, our guests and attendees, will depart not only enriched with knowledge, but also with new friendships, colleagues, and the support needed for your film projects.
