Here & Elsewhere
Beirut, Lebanon
Here & Elsewhere is a three-day short film festival and fundraiser dedicated to celebrating Arab voices on screen. We’re seeking poetic and personal stories that reflect the richness and complexity of Arab identity, told by those who live it.
In partnership with Palestinian-Canadian director Fateema Al-Hamaydeh Miller, the festival offers a platform to spotlight underrepresented narratives and foster authentic dialogue through film.
Selected films will screen alongside curated community conversations, director Q&As, and programming designed to build connection.
We normally do not charge for submissions, but as this festival is also a fundraiser we are asking for a small fee.
Submissions are open internationally, with FEE EXEMPTIONS available for local filmmakers.
