Cindy Chehab is a Lebanese film curator, filmmaker, and archive producer whose work focuses on the identity of the SWANA region. Through a research-based ethno-biographical film practice, she explores the intimate and political intersections of personal and collective memory. She interrogates the notion of the ‘absent archive’ and the mechanisms of erasure. Questioning how what is missing, suppressed, or fragmented can still structure memory, history, and image-making
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.
