After finishing his Cinema studies at Concordia University in 1998, and completing a year of studies in France, Stéphane Lahoud used the Kino evenings as a platform to present his first projects as director. But his interests soon lead him towards documentary making. As early as 2002, he co-founded the collective Les Lucioles, reuniting many engaged film-makers. Since then, he has directed and presented more than 30 shorts with a sociopolitical character in numerous festivals, using video as a tool for social transformation.
