About lucien bourjeily
Award-winning Lebanese independent filmmaker and stage director. Other than being the winner of the 2008 BIFF 'Best Director' award for his debut film Taht El Aaricha, Bourjeily was the first to introduce improvised theatre to the streets of Beirut in the midst of political turmoil in May 2008 and behind the first professional improvisational theatre show in Lebanon and the Middle East; defying all censorship laws still applicable in this region: peacefully challenging social and cultural barriers using theatre to set off dialogue, encourage free speech, and as a true force of positive change.
In August 2009, he won the prestigious YCE international award for his innovative work in the lebanese performing arts field during the last decade.
In 2009, he co-founded VAPA (Visual and Performing Arts Association) who's main objective is promoting and advocating arts in Lebanon and the region.
