Jocelyne Saab (30 April 1948 – 7 January 2019) was a Lebanese journalist and film director.
She is recognized as one of the pioneers of Lebanese cinema.
A reporter, photographer, scriptwriter, producer, director, artist and founder of the Cultural Resistance International Film Festival of Lebanon, Saab focused on the deprived and disadvantaged – from displaced peoples to exiled fighters, cities at war and a Fourth World without a voice.
Her work is grounded in historic violence, and in an awareness of the actions and images required to document, reflect on and counteract it.
