LFF 2020 Online Update

LFF 2020: The Best of Lebanese Cinema from the Comfort of Your Own Home!

This year has been a challenging one for all of us - in Australia, we've been dealing with the ramifications of the COVID-19 pandemic, whilst in Lebanon, our partners and film makers have been dealing with the added complexities of political, social, economic and environmental crises!

For the Lebanese Film Festival team, this has created a year of uncertainty. We've been determined to ensure the Festival continues to bring you your annual Lebanese cinema fix - so, I am pleased to inform you that our online streaming platform, LFF On-Demand, is now LIVE until 22 December.

To get your fix of Lebanese cinema, head to our website, LFF.org.au. You can enjoy individual films, or buy our Full Festival Bundle for just $29.99, which will give you access to all films until 22 December.

Happy watching!!

We're very excited to be screening '1982', starring Nadine Labaki, in this year's On-Demand program. Set amid the 1982 Israeli invasion of Lebanon, it is the last day of school and 11-year-old Wissam. He is determined to tell his classmate Joanna that he loves her, while his teachers – on different sides of the political divide – try to mask their fears. Click here to stream or read more.

We Are From There is a multi-award winning documentary about two Syrian brothers in their mid 20s who take a leap of faith and decide to start their lives from scratch in new cities. They leave everything behind except their passion for life, determination, sense of humour and hope for a better future. Their closest cousin, Wissam, decides to film their odysseys for over five years, questioning the true meaning of home, bringing back some childhood memories, while exploring the human ability to cope with change as radical as it may be.
