Impact Lab بالعربي

Impact Lab بالعربي trains participants from all kinds of backgrounds in a four-day immersive workshop where selected filmmakers and participants pour over case studies and dissect effective strategies for using independent film as a tool for social change.

Filmmakers and participants from the fields of film production and distribution, campaigning, journalism, politics, marketing, and PR are all welcome to apply! The lab will take place from March 23 to 26, 2021. While we hope to be able to host it in-person in Beirut, an immersive and engaging virtual format has already been put in place, in case the health and safety implications of the pandemic impose it. The sessions will be conducted in Arabic with a few translated interventions.
