Cabriolet Film Festival ()

Festival Start: 06 Juni 2025      Festival Ende: 08 Juni 2025

CFF is the first outdoors film festival of its kind in Lebanon. The festival, which was launched in 2009 by “Laboratoire D’art”, has become an annual short film event which celebrates and promotes local and international short films as an independent form of art in a non-competitive public event, away from competition, prizes and entrance fees.

Cabriolet Film Festival next year’s topic is centered around the concept of "DISOBEY".
In a world often dominated by conformity and convention, “Disobey” embodies the courage to forge your own path, challenge norms, and stand up for what you believe in. It is about breaking free from societal expectations, daring to be different, and embracing the resilience it takes to remain authentic, even when the road is difficult.

We invite filmmakers from around the globe to explore the multifaceted dimensions of disobedience: as a form of personal liberation, a statement of identity, and an unwavering commitment to a cause. Your short films can capture stories of those who resist, challenge authority, push boundaries, and refuse to compromise their beliefs.

Whether subtle or bold, peaceful or provocative, stories of disobedience are tales of empowerment, persistence, and individuality. Through this theme, we seek to celebrate the transformative power of “disobedience” and the voices that rise above conformity.

Join us on June 6, 7, and 8, 2025, to showcase films that challenge, inspire, and empower.
Let’s celebrate the beauty of rebellion and the freedom found in following your own path.

The main purpose of the CFF is to bring short films to the public, right in the streets of Beirut, free of entrance and away from competitions. Therefore, no prizes or awards are part of this public event.
