The Minister of Culture, Salim Wardy, will be holding a press conference to commemorate Lebanon\u2019s first ever
International Emmy\u00ae Award which was won by Batoota Films for their work on \u201cShankaboot\u201d, the pioneering Arabic language web series. Exclusive footage from the award ceremony held in Cannes, will be screened during the press event.<\/p>\n

The series beat stiff competition in the Digital Program (Fiction) category from cutting-edge multi-media productions from the UK, the Netherlands and Brazil. The prestigious accolade is considered to be the television equivalent of the Oscars and the Grammy Awards.<\/p>\n

Launched in March 2010, \u201cShankaboot\u201d is a drama tinged with comedy. It combines witty social observations with an edgy shooting style and naturalistic acting. The gripping storylines capture the mood and spirit of Beirut. The series is conceived as a vehicle for exploring various social problems, which are often overlooked by mainstream media in the Arab world.<\/p>\n

Shankaboot is Directed by Amin Dora, Written by Bassem Breish and Produced by Katia Saleh.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
