Usually it is the actors who get awarded and honored for their work, but in all honesty there is an entire crew that may not appear on our screens that work perhaps more than the actors. One director who has made her mark and impressed people all over the world with her ability and her perseverance is Lebanese director Nadine Labki. Nadine was recently granted the French Medal for the Arts and Literature, a great honor especially for an Arab artist.
The Minister of Culture herself presented Nadine with this award exclaiming that France had believed in Nadine and she did not let France down. Obviously this is great for Nadine but it is sad that she receives such a great honor from the European world whilst in the Arab world she faced a lot of criticism from people who were unhappy with her so called ‘controversial’ ideas.

I admire her work. So much more interesting and talented than a lot of Lebanese celebrities. Loved her movie Caramel wish she makes more great movies soon.
Omg! I love her, she is amazing. I love the movie Caramel, and that other one 'Al Bosta.'
She is so talented and beautiful!
Go Lebanon!!
You mean "A great honor especially for a Lebanese artist"
That's why she was not honored from the Arab world. They do not consider Lebanon really as an Arab country...to much andvanced. They are right!
How are WE the Lebanese more advanced Lebee?
Can you please tell me when we compare Lebanon to Dubai for example, how are we more advanced?
Do you mean we are more open and our mentality is more advanced? Are we more accepting and less judgemental of others? Well believe me the 'Phoenician' mentality is not so different from the Arab one.
When you want to make an offensive and ridiculous statement like this on an Arab website visited by little teens, back it up with facts. Now we will get the barely literate 'Joumana' and the likes spouting more rubbish against the Whole of Lebanon ( well I am still riling from a ridiculous comment invoving God and punishement :P). Wlk khalass wlo, khalssouna men ha elmouwal oufffft...
Good on you Nadine, thumbs up.
