Director Biography - Mariana Abou Elias

Mariana Abou Elias, I have worked on many short films as a First Assistant Director, considering it to be the closest to my field of interest which is the directing department. Along with my freelancing work, I am the audio-visual senior officer and the volunteers coordinator in Beirut Film Society, a cinematic NGO that mainly organizes Film Festivals on a yearly basis, such as "Beirut Women Film Festival", "Beirut Shorts", "Beirut International Children & Family Film Festival". "BFS" also works on projects with Unicef. For example, in this year's edition I was the Audio-Visual trainer on a project called "Girls For Change". Last, I am working with my colleagues on a queer film festival,"Beirut Queer Film Festival" as a programmer.
