Director
Alec Nikoghossian (born August 24, 2004) is a Lebanese-Armenian filmmaker (director & editor) born in Beirut, Lebanon. Now based in Montréal, Canada, he graduated with a BFA in Film Production from Concordia University’s Mel Hoppenheim School of Cinema. Inspired by life across two ends of the world, he pulls from personal history to revisit the city of Beirut through film; guided by nostalgia and fragmented memories from Armenian family stories. His first publicly recognized short film, Closer in Strife (2025), premiered at the Armenian Film Society’s Armenian Film Festival in Los Angeles, with selections at Slamdance (Narrative Shorts) and the Beirut Shorts (BSIFF)'s Land, Peace, and Justice Competition.
