The Lebanese Ambassador to Australia, Dr Jean Daniel, has expressed his support for the Lebanese Film Festival.
Mr Daniel says, “I am very happy to support the Lebanese Film Festival Association. It paints a positive image of Lebanon and we are confident of the success of the inaugural festival”.
Lebanese Film Festival Director, Camille Lattouf, Co-Director, Jessica Khoury and Media and Marketing Manager, Julia Lattouf, met with Mr Daniel and his wife, Mireille, in Canberra earlier this year.
