Awards Season - Episode 4

This week, we look towards the Middle East, with twice Oscar nominated Palestinian director Hany Abu-Assad and his producer wife Amira Diab who stopped by our virtual studio to talk about where Middle Eastern cinema has its roots, and where its future is headed. We follow our road to the Oscars as Rasha and Carter speak to Farah Nabulsi, director of one of this year's Oscar shortlisted live action shorts: The Present, shot on location in the occupied territory of Palestine. Farah opens up about what inspired her and what filmmaking means to her.
