Hours after winners of the 96th Academy Awards (Oscars) were announced on Sunday night, the Hollywood Arab Film Festival (HAFF) congratulated Tunisian filmmaker Kaouther Ben Hania on her success in entering the race, even though her film “Four Daughters” did not appear on the list of winners among the 321 films competing in 25 categories.
“Her success as well as that of the film, Four Daughters, with the international buzz it made is a huge achievement for the Arab film industry,” the HAFF said.
“Even though the film didn’t win in its category, we’re proud of her achievement of making it to the Oscars nominations,” it further said. “We look forward to more films from the Director and we cheer her on in her filmmaking journey.”
