After a first edition held against all odds in April last year, despite the crisis that the city, the country and the area is living, Tripoli Film Festival is back this year, proudly carrying the same message of peace, tolerance and cultural resistance.
This festival is organised by, and for Tripoli citizens. Its primary aim is to contribute to a better access to culture, helping expand our horizons and our world by decentralizing the holding of cultural events in Lebanon. We are hoping that this year’s selection will convey our message that is transcending borders; the world is rich and beautiful, and Tripoli is a part of it.
The main events will take place at The Safadi Cultural Center and at the Azm Cultural Center and special open air screenings in Beb el Tebbaneh and Jabal Mohsen neighbourhoods will run in parallel to the festival. The Beirut Arab University, Tripoli Campus will host an “out of competition” documentary screening day and panel debates, open to the public, with international guest speakers from the Forum for Cities in Transition around the theme “Women and Conflicts”.
The Festival venues will showcase works by local artists and the event will export our city to the world. This second year is indeed a bigger challenge for our organizing committee and our city: we invited the filmmakers in competition and we will have among our guests international festival programmers and critics. We hope to be up to the challenge of showing our rich heritage, our friendliness and hospitality, in our beautiful and resilient city, the Lebanese Tripoli that we know and love.
The organizing committee
Save the date, from April 30 to May 7 the movies will be waiting for you.
Welcome to the Tripoli Film Festival 2015

Home Is Where My Age Is
Strelec / JukicCroatia2013Short Documentary22 min
Three life backgrounds and three different ways of thinking related to one story. This film shows how entirely different people: a poet, a window and a married couple end up in the same place, in one home for elderly people, where they are doomed to wait for their death. This documentary scratches under the dull surface of third age people, reveals their specific personalities by showing their everyday lives and it gives them the opportunity to be themselves and not just old.

Sonja ProsencSlovenia2014Long Fiction90 min
Two brothers find themselves imprisoned in their own home as a threat of a blood feud sets new rules of life. Stretched between the imagination of little Veli, the struggles of mother Milena, and the dilemmas of a teenage boy Alek, the story reveals how absurd their new reality is.
Without ever seeing the neighbours that declared the feud, we sense the air is thick with menace and the boys are only safe behind the walls of their own house and yard. As time vanishes from their home, the shelter becomes a prison. However, nothing can keep the children from dreaming and yearning to be free and the urge to make a decision seems inevitable.
