Institute of Theater, Audiovisual and Cinematic Studies

The Institute of Theater, Audiovisual and Cinematic Studies (IESAV) is part of the Faculty of Humanities Ramez G. Chagoury of the Saint Joseph University of Beirut. Since its founding in 1988, IESAV has remained a pioneer in audiovisual and cinematic studies in the Middle East and provides high-level theater education. Located in the heart of Beirut, the Institute spans over 4000 square meters, featuring classrooms, performance spaces, photoshoot and shooting studios, editing, sound and post-production studios, computer graphics rooms, a scenography workshop, as well as a rich video library. Students also benefit from two large film sets (each including a studio and a control room) and the professional Béryte Theater for didactic and practical learning.
