Bishop Paul Marwan Tabet held a press conference at the diocesan headquarters in Montreal to announce the film "The Lord Sees Me," which will be screened next month on a tour between Montreal, Toronto, Ottawa, and Halifax, in the presence of the film's director Tony Naameh. The conference began with a speech by the head of the diocesan media office, André Qassas, who welcomed the attendees and journalists.

This national work, as described by Naameh during the press conference, highlights the life story of the blessed from the ancient town of Lahfud, Brother Stephan. The work took more than four years to complete and come to light amidst many challenges, including the Corona pandemic and the economic crisis that struck Lebanon at the beginning of 2020, which did not prevent the large production team composed of well-known actors such as Fouad Sharaf Al-Din, Bernadette Hadib, Issam Al-Shennawi, and more than 250 actors distributed among Muslims and Christians who volunteered to accomplish this grand artistic work that had a budget of more than 350 thousand dollars to be presented in this refined form after moving between five locations and monasteries to film it, including the Qattara Monastery because of its resemblance to the Kfifan Monastery in northern Lebanon, according to the director.

Written by the great poet Mounir Mu'asri and inspired by the writings of Father Youssef Khashab, the Lebanese Maronite monk, and Father Elie Qazi.

For his part, the patron of the Maronite Diocese in Canada praised this humanitarian and religious work, congratulated the production team, director Tony Naameh and Father Jean Khalifeh, whom we are proud of for his secularism and culture, and thanked them for dedicating the film's proceeds to the Mansiyin Charity Association. He also commended the efforts of the company "New Dimension of the Universe" and Mrs. Hailof Hadchiti who handles its distribution in Canada and thanked the media for their presence in conveying the message and the picture, as well as the diocesan priests and believers.

It is worth noting that the three screenings of the film in Montreal were fully booked and sold out.

It will then be shown in Ottawa, Toronto, and Halifax, and it is possible to extend the tour to other Canadian provinces.
