Hi, I’m Nadine. I'm a Lebanese director with a bachelor’s degree in Cinema and TV (Audiovisual) from the Lebanese University – Fine Arts Institute II. I'm currently pursuing my Master’s degree in Cinema (Audiovisual) at Paris 1 University (Sorbonne – Panthéon) - Ecole des Arts de la Sorbonne.

L’aveugle de la Cathédrale (The Blind of the Cathedral) is my senior short movie, a first-time adaptation of a novel by Farjallah Haïk (the rights were obtained from Haïk’s family). The film won 8 international awards including Best Short Film, Best Directing, Best Actor and Best Actess and was nominated for over 40 awards. Perhaps Today is my second short film produced in 2017 and currently touring international film festivals.

I have been congratulated on several academic short films, including Dans Mon Cocon (2013-14) which was screened as a special jury mention during the Première Journée Cinématographique des étudiants de l’INBA II à l’Université Libanaise (2015) and Yingtai (2014), a Chinese short film inspired from a traditional legend.

I'm also a photographer, producer, editor and movie blogger.
