Remembering Bianca Beyrouti

It is with broken hearts that we share the news that on January 2nd we lost Bianca Beyrouti, our beloved friend and colleague.

Bianca was an integral part of our filmmaking community in the Bay Area, a community she worked tirelessly for through her work as a filmmaker, organizer and activist. Everyone that knew Bianca would recognize the passion, dedication and conviction she always carried with her, and how sorely she will be missed.

Bianca had recently stepped into the role of leading BAMMS and we were so excited for this new chapter under her leadership in 2025. For now, we will be taking some time to mourn and reflect as a team, while laying out plans for the future of BAMMS to ensure we honor Bianca through this work.

You can support Bianca’s family by donating and sharing the GoFundMe linked here. Funds raised will go towards covering memorial expenses and other financial costs.

With love,

BAMMS team
