About Beirut Art Film Festival – BAFF
The Beirut Art Film Festival – BAFF is an independent cultural initiative dedicated to showcasing films on art and heritage. Since its inception in 2015, the festival has presented each November a rich and eclectic selection of films focusing on the visual and performing arts, architecture, archaeology, design, artificial intelligence applied to art, and literature—alongside conferences, exhibitions, and performances.
In parallel with its central November edition, BAFF runs two national initiatives aimed at decentralization and highlighting collective memory:
BAFF @ Schools, which offers films and educational materials to students in public and private schools.
United in Heritage, a monthly screening program held from January to May, across fifteen cultural venues throughout the country, aimed at celebrating heritage and uniting Lebanese citizens around their cultural legacy.
From Prague to Singapore, from north to south, the Beirut Art Film Festival has, over the years, established itself as a distinctive voice on the international art scene. With no competition and no laurels, the festival places creation and diversity at the heart of each edition—contributing to making Beirut, despite setbacks and disasters, a true cultural platform committed to exchange, discovery, and sharing.
In a context marked by political, economic, and social crises, the festival team—led by Alice Mogabgab and supported by Lebanese patrons and international cultural partners—continues its journey with determination and integrity: to make art accessible to everyone, for beyond geographic borders, art remains the most radiant universal expression of our shared humanity.
