Nadine Labaki Just Won An Oscar!

ALF MABROUK and congratulations to Nadine Labaki! Her compelling movie Caphernaum just won an Oscar in the foreign language category at the Oscars!



Caphernaum was up against stiff competition with Colombian Birds of Passage, Danish The Guilty, German Never Look Away, Japanese Shoplifters, Kazakhtan’s Ayka, Mexican Roma, Polish Cold War and South Korean Burning.


This is a fantastic milestone for Lebanese cinema and Labaki, who never ceases to impress us with movies that reflect reality and convey universal humanitarian messages.


Aside from the Oscar, Caphernaum already won our hearts and received global critical appraisal. It is indeed a major achievement for Nadine Labaki to be the first Arab female director nominated by the Academy, aside from the recognition and admiration she received from media mogul Oprah alone.

Mabrouk to the Caphernaum team!

We’re so proud!
