Salle Montaigne – Institut français du Liban, Rue de Damas

Prominent filmmakers and writers paid tribute to Samir Kassir shortly after his assassination. Their documentaries and short films shed light on Samir Kassir's vision, career, personal life and political values. Each film captured aspects of Samir Kassir's ideas and personality that the general public may not have known.


The Beirut Spring Festival will screen three documentaries produced and broadcast in the months following Samir Kassir's assassination, including

  • A film by the late world-renowned Syrian filmmaker Omar Amiralay;
  • A film by Lebanese filmmaker Greta Nawfal;
  • A film by Lebanese photographer and filmmaker Talal Khoury;


The Beirut Spring Festival will also feature a world premiere: a tribute to Samir Kassir by his own daughter and young filmmaker Liana Kassir, presented for the first time on the occasion of the tenth commemoration.
