DEMONS TO DIAMONDS Short Film Competition

DEMONS TO DIAMONDS

World Premiere

Screens as part of SHORTS PROGRAM: AFTER DARK

In the cold business district of La Défense, where steel towers pierce a restless sky and CCTV watches every shadow, a wave of suicides exposes the fractures of a crumbling society.

Valentin Noujaïm is a French Lebanese experimental filmmaker whose work has been selected by numerous prestigious festivals including IFFR Rotterdam, CPH:DOX and Visions du Réel. Noujaïm’s work challenges dominant societal narratives, shedding light on the lives of individuals and communities historically marginalized by systemic discrimination.
