We are the Here & Elsewhere core founders: Lilith, Fateema, and Habib². We’re raising funds to cover the production costs of the Here and Elsewhere Short Film Festival. What is Here & Elsewhere? Here & Elsewhere is a grassroots short film festival championing voices facing systematic marginalization worldwide. Taking place this October 1–3 at the Beirut Art Center in Lebanon, it celebrates beauty, joy, and resilience; bringing together films and voices that defy stereotypes and tell richer, more authentic stories. Why we need your help: Given the dire economic situation, securing grants or sponsorships has been nearly impossible, so we’re turning to our community. We are a small group of artists volunteering our time and labor, and your contribution will directly cover essential costs: Transportation 33% Catering 16% Print Materials 13% AV Technician 11% Accommodation 10% Volunteers 10% Contingency 10% We are so grateful to Beirut Art Center for being our venue sponsor!

Marketing and social media boosting fees ABOUT THE EVENT DARB EL QAMAR as an environment-driven initiative was launched in 2017 comprising a full moon hike within El Chouf Biosphere Reserve along a trail extending over 8 km of medium elevation terrain. The activity is meant to promote nature conservation by establishing connections between the latter and us as humans in a fun, chilling and well-being centered context. It also aims to promote the area as an attraction for tourists and a hub for small family start-ups to display and sell household goods and food supplies to generate a well needed income so they can make it through the winter season. This year, the event will host 20 musical bands to perform on Saturday August 13th by sunset; along with food stations preparing the most delicious meals to all our visitors. FACTS Darb El Qamar Event was attended by more than 20K visitors through out the years since it started in 2017.
