Beirut Film Society (BFS) is a Non-for Profit Association that works closely with Lebanese and international filmmakers, and with film associations and/or other entities around the world to empower film industry in Lebanon and the Arab World.   BFS organizes film events in Lebanon and abroad, to introduce cinema culture as an educative tool to human rights and ethics; and to spread the Lebanese culture through Lebanese films where possible.  

We believe in the power of cinema and audio visual in making a change, and we want to educate the young, in Lebanon in General, and in rural societies in particular, on how to use those tools to express themselves and to seek change. 

 As part of BFS objectives, we promote for “Cinema for a Cause”, and work on raising awareness among youth about social issues through cinema, such as Gender Equality, Women Causes, Children Rights, and Peace Building, through organizing cinema activities, such as: screenings, training sessions, seminars, workshops, networking events.
