BEIRUT SHORTS 2025

  The 19th edition poster of the Beirut Shorts International Film Festival embodies Lebanon’s resilience and rebirth, portraying a city slowly regaining color and life after years of hardship. An airplane crossing the sky symbolizes Lebanon’s global story that always returns to Beirut, while softening clouds suggest challenges giving way to hope. At its heart, the butterfly reappears as a symbol of transformation, weaving vibrancy back into the city and reflecting the creative energy of its youth. The skyline blends traditional houses with modern towers, uniting heritage with ambition, and together with the gradual return of vivid tones, the design narrates a powerful vision of renewal, continuity, and unstoppable progress. 

OSCARS Qualifying Festival

 The Beirut Shorts International Film Festival has proudly attained the status of an Academy Awards (OSCARS) Qualifying Film Festival, the first of its kind in Lebanon and among few in the Arab world. This milestone provides an unprecedented opportunity for Lebanese and international filmmakers, as films that win in three official competition categories—Best Live Action, Best Documentary, and Best Animation—will now be eligible for OSCARS consideration.

During the two-month shoot, she not only finds herself deeply entangled in a love affair with Dawa, a Tibetan man and Monk-to-be but is forced to face her inner demons of death and destiny when she discovers a wild “wolf boy” Suo Hua in the forest. Wading through the dense mystery of Tibetan highland, Meido forges ahead against all the odds on her journey of the soul- searching that breaks, strengthens, and ultimately heals her.
