As part of efforts to counter gender stereotypes and disinformation, the EU Delegation to Lebanon partnered with Dawaer Foundation to train 20 media students from across Lebanon on detecting, analysing, and countering such cases.

Students produced 10 short reports focusing on women in Lebanon defying gender stereotypes. The reports will air during the European Film Festival to tell their story.

The countdown begins! The 29^th #EuropeanFilmFestival in Lebanon is almost here, ready to transport audiences through unforgettable European and Lebanese cinema from 30 April to 11 May, 2025 at Metropolis Cinema! 

We’re thrilled to reveal this edition’s poster, designed by Natasha Simonian. Her artwork captures a moment of Beirut’s everyday poetry, roaming cats, tangled wires, and the rich tapestry of old and new buildings.

The European Film Festival is organised by the Delegation of the European Union to Lebanon, in partnership with Metropolis Cinema Association and in cooperation with the European Union Member States.
