Tripoli Film Festival
Emerging or unverified festival
The Tripoli Film Festival is an annual international film festival in Tripoli, Lebanon, founded in 2014 and known for using cinema as a tool for cultural revival and for reshaping the city’s image. It screens a broad mix of feature films, short films, documentaries, and animation from Lebanon, the Arab world, and beyond, while also running industry forums, workshops, and pitching platforms that support emerging filmmakers and local cinema. Its significance in the regional festival circuit comes from its role in promoting Tripoli as a cultural destination and in creating a platform for Lebanese and Arab independent film.
