The Pioneer: Nadine Labaki

Nadine Labaki is the most important Arab filmmaker of her generation. With her emotionally confrontational film ‘Capernaum’, she showed the gut-wrenching realities of children living in poverty in the streets of Beirut. This powerful film went on to be nominated for an Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, making Labaki the first female Arab director to ever be nominated. In a beautiful editorial shot in her homeland of Beirut, Labaki appears in the pages of #SFX, Savoir Flair's 10th anniversary coffee-table book published by @Assouline — coming Fall 2020.
