Leib Kopman is a filmmaker and visual storyteller whose cinematic work blends grit, beauty, and meaning. With roots in documentary, fashion, and fine art, his works explore resilience, identity, and the need for connection. Whether collaborating with music legends like Leonard Cohen and Peter Gabriel or capturing untold stories on the ground, his work brings raw poetry to life. He has explored themes of war, reconciliation, and cultural identity, telling global stories that range from WWII veterans to survivors of Rwanda and Cambodia. From producing exhibitions at the Royal Ontario Museum to art directing for Toronto Fashion Week, his projects bridge culture and consciousness. He also produced the Lamborghini 50th Anniversary Exhibition, a photographic installation launched at Koerner Hall.

Currently in production on Echoes of Rebirth, a visceral documentary on transplant survivor Zach Colton, Kopman recently released Let Go—a meditative short film with artist Mark Huebner, co-produced with Wink Magazine and Moto Guzzi. Additionally, he is directing a documentary on Andy Franks, a four-time Tour Manager of the Year award recipient, who has managed global tours for artists including Coldplay, Depeche Mode, and Robbie Williams. Kopman’s films are rooted in collaboration and a reverence for the creative process, offering space for reflection, healing, and the enduring power of art.
