Fadia Abboud

A powerful voice in Australian filmmaking, Fadia Abboud was born in 1971 in Sydney, Australia. Most active in the 2000s and 2010s, her work primarily spans across the drama, comedy, and romance genres with her most notable works being "I Love Pho" and "Australian Arab", which earned her a reputation for providing insightful perspectives on multicultural Australia. Although she hasn't won any major festival awards, her unique storytelling style, integrating elements of her Lebanese background and LGBTQIA+ themes, has garnered her critical acclaim. On a personal note, Abboud is not just a filmmaker, but a compelling storyteller whose work passionately explores the intersectionality of culture, identity, and sexuality.
