Nadine Labaki has garnered widespread acclaim for her work as a director, with her advertisements and music videos frequently winning awards. In 2004, she wrote and directed Caramel, her debut feature film, which served as a bold ode to female camaraderie and became the most successful Lebanese film export of all time. In recognition of her achievements, Nadine was awarded the Insignia of Chevalier in the Order of Arts and Letters by the French Ministry of Culture in 2008. Nadine continued to delve into themes of female experience and religious tensions with Where Do We Go Now?, a 2011 film that presents a universal fable on tolerance and won her several awards. In 2018, Nadine's film Capernaum was selected for the official Competition at the Cannes Film Festival. This powerful and moving film, a poignant commentary on childhood trauma, refugees, and societal neglect, made a significant impact on the Croisette. Capernaum earned her the Jury Prize and nominations for the BAFTAs, Golden Globes, French Césars, and an Academy Award for Best Foreign Film, making her the first Arabic-speaking woman to be nominated in this category. In 2019, Nadine served as the president of the "Un Certain Regard" jury at the Cannes Film Festival. Since then, she has appeared in several films. In 2024, Nadine was named a member of the prestigious jury for the 77th edition of the Cannes Film Festival.
