Programming, publications and exhibitions

The Association continues its ongoing work to promote the oeuvre of Jocelyne Saab, as well as films restored in partnership with other organisations and institutions. The events listed below were conceived by, or developed in artistic collaboration with, the Jocelyne Saab Association. Numerous other events and retrospectives have been organised worldwide, but the Jocelyne Saab Association was not involved in the intellectual conception of those programmes (see the main events organised worldwide since 2019 here).
