In 2020, REEF launched a short film competition inviting young Lebanese filmmakers to explore the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on nature, the environment, and rural life. Participants were challenged to translate their personal reflections and emotions into compelling film narratives, whether through documentary or fiction, with a maximum runtime of five minutes. From the submissions, 20 films were selected and made available for public viewing on AFLAMUNA.online. A professional jury evaluated the films, while a third prize was determined by audience votes. Through this initiative, the competition not only provided a creative outlet during a time of crisis but also encouraged a deeper contemplation of our connection with nature in times of crisis.
