It’s always a pleasure to be back at @tiranafilmfest! Last week, #SayonaraFilm was at the Festival’s 24th edition to present our Distribution Award for the 5th edition of 𝗦𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗻𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘆 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗜𝗙𝗙. The award went to Lebanese project 𝗦𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝗕𝗼𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗯𝗼 by @ranithefirst, which also won the AM Production Award.

The contest has already led to a very important collaboration: 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗹𝗼𝘁𝘁𝗲, premiered this year at #TIFF2026 in the 𝗜𝗻 𝗔𝗟𝗕𝗔𝗡𝗜𝗔𝗻 𝗦𝗵𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘀 competition - written by @ylljet.alicka1 and directed by @enrikohamzaj - is distributed by us and co-produced with @teo_film._, after winning our Distribution Award last year!

Many thanks to #TiranaFilmFest for the invitation and, as always, for the warm hospitality! See you next year ✨

Tripoli Film Festival is celebrating its 13th year. and I’m marking year 6 with this amazing crew, and my second year as the Arab Shorts Pitching Platform Coordinator.

It’s hands down the best part of the year. While it took so much hard work behind the scenes to run the operations and bring this incredible selection of films to the screen, what I’m most grateful for is the people. To the wonderful team and friends by my side, thank you for the midnight laughs, the unforgettable dances, and the endless dedication. Meeting so many amazing new people along the way made it all the more special. you genuinely brought this festival to life.
