Cindy Chehab is a Lebanese film curator, filmmaker, and archive producer whose work is rooted in post-colonial theories, focusing on the identity of the SWANA region while engaging with themes of Europeanization and orientalism. Through her documentary practice, Cindy employs an ethno-biographical approach to explore the intimate and political intersections of personal and collective memory.
In 2022, she co-founded a film and image culture space in Nicosia, Cyprus, a film club dedicated to critical engagement with film culture. Her curatorial interests center on militant and underrepresented documentary films.
She is currently pursuing a master’s degree in Film Preservation and Archival Practices between Brussels, Lisbon, and Dublin as part of the Filmmemory program’s first edition.
