"The Intuitive Filmlab is a platform for cinematic freedom, truth & authenticity”

Our mission is to encourage talented and passionate audiovisual artists, to give them space and tools to unveil their own original cinematic language. In the film lab, authenticity and intuition are the compass by which we ground ourselves and co-create with life what can only be manifested through each and everyone of us: our unique audio-visual expressions of our personal emotions and depiction of life. The intuitive filmlab invites and guides the artists to find the audio visual anatomy of their emotions & intuitively transform it into a film, with only one compass to follow: authenticity

We look forward to welcoming the selected artists to this year’s edition, to a space for experimentation, exchange, and moving-image & sound practice in an underground warm venue that is designed to empower them.

Inaam Attar is a Lebanese filmmaker, screenwriter and video editor based in France.
She studied Performing Arts - Audiovisual at Saint Joseph University and Film Directing at ESCAC in Barcelona.

Her practice explores the intersection of storytelling and the human psyche. Her work is deeply rooted in the rawness of human emotions, with a strong belief in authenticity and the power of personal experience to connect with an audience.

Working intuitively, she is guided by the emotional pulse of a story, from its first words through the final edit. Embracing improvisation and spontaneity and allowing space for discovery through the whole creative process.

Moving between observation and imagination, Inaam creates intimate narratives that invite audiences to feel and look beyond the surface of a story.

Her work includes Monologues of a Pig, the first Lebanese/Arab student films selected for the Camerimage Student Etudes Competition, and Ordinary Day (Beirut 607), which received a 2021 International Emmy nomination. She was also named among the Top 10 Video Editors in the MENA region by BWR.

I am not sure who I am. Maybe I never will be, but I know I am always becoming, always learning how to become a better human.
I make films to understand myself,
to understand others,
and in doing so, to learn how to be better.

11/09/2026

I am someone who didn’t choose filmmaking as a career plan, but somehow arrived there because it became a way of being in the world.

My journey has been a constant process of transformation. I moved from working as a psychomotor therapist to becoming a photographer and filmmaker, following a need to create, explore, and document what feels true.

I am someone who has always been searching for meaning in the small and often invisible moments of life. I am deeply curious about people, places, memories, and the traces we leave behind.

I am an observer before I am a creator. I find myself paying attention to gestures, silences, light, sounds, and emotions, the things that are often felt before they are understood.

I am guided more by intuition than by certainty.
I learn by experimenting, by making mistakes, by playing, and by staying open to what the moment reveals.

I am still learning, still questioning, and still becoming. Through my work, I hope to understand the world a little better, become a better human being, and create images that carry honesty, sensitivity, and presence.

A filmmaker A Dreamer Someone who wants to create A Child at heart Still stuck in Nostalgia

I’m Rita. I’m still discovering who I am and filmmaking is one of the ways I try to understand that. I find myself drawn to observing human beings, and the nature of their reality, the way people experience the world, build connections, and create meaning from their existence which makes me understand myself better.

04/09/2026

I am human. I am a work in progress. I am visual. I am nothing. I might be something.
