Leib Kopman is a filmmaker and visual artist whose work navigates the intersection of memory, identity, and the human condition. Through a cinematic lens shaped by documentary, fine art, and editorial practice, his projects examine how individuals endure, rebuild, and redefine themselves in the aftermath of profound experience.

Kopman’s body of work spans global narratives, from the testimonies of Holocaust survivors and the aftermath of the genocides in Rwanda and Cambodia, to portraits of cultural icons such as Leonard Cohen. His works have been exhibited at venues such as the Royal Ontario Museum, and in partnership with Toronto Fashion Week and international periodicals.

His recent short film Let Go, created in collaboration with artist Mark Huebner and Wink Magazine, is a contemplative meditation on art, time, and transformation. It reflects Kopman's ongoing commitment to cinematic work that invites reflection and emotional depth.

He is currently directing Echoes of Rebirth, a long-form documentary on Zach Colton’s recovery from an extremely rare five-organ transplant. Shot over 18 months, the film is part personal odyssey and part meditation on survival, medical breakthroughs, and the unmarked emotional landscape of recovery.

Also, in development is a documentary about Andy Franks tour manager for Coldplay, Depeche Mode and Robbie Williams. The film follows Franks as he goes from the international stage to setting up Music Support, a British charity devoted to mental health and addiction in the music industry. Working across disciplines and geographies,

Kopman continues to explore how image making can serve as a space for reflection, witness, and collective memory.
