Youssef Shoufan

Youssef Shoufan is a filmmaker, photographer, author and creator of multiple projects. Very active in the artistic, cultural and social scenes in his hometown and around the world, he uses his professional and personal communication skills as vectors of positive change, for the short and the long term. Born in Damascus in 1987 and based in Montréal since 1994, his interests in minimalist aesthetics and his values of social justice and representation of marginalized narratives are at the heart of his work. To do so, Youssef uses his creativity, curiosity, mediation tools, leadership and critical thinking. English being the third language he has learned, working on What We Chose to Remember was a way for him to discover many new realties through the stories of the people met on the journey of creating this documentary.
