Randa Chahal Sabag Biography

Randa Chahal Sabag is one of the most popular and richest Film Director who was born on December 11, 1953 in Tripoli, North Governorate, Lebanon. Randa Chahal Sabbag, also known as Sabbagh, was born 11 December 1953 in Tripoli (Lebanon) and died 25 August 2008. She was a Lebanese screenwriter, producer, and film director. Her parents were an Iraqi mother, and a Lebanese dad.

The Kite was Sabbag’s 2003 film. It won the Silver Lion at Venice Film Festival 2003. The film takes place in a South Lebanese village and is about love, loss, and the absurdity that Israeli occupation has caused. It tells the story of a Druze family who was split up after their village was divided into two, with one being annexed by Israel. The story centers around Lamia, a Lebanese Druze teenager, and her Israeli Druze cousin, Maher Bsaibes. The Israeli-Lebanese border patrols are vigilant and impotent as the drama unfolds. One of them is Ziad Rahbani, a renowned Lebanese actor, playwright, and composer. The Kite is used “as a metaphor to love and life at the frontier”. It explores with depth and humor ‘the meanings of brides and the hope they represent for divided family and sometimes for divided nations’.

Civilisees (A Civilized People), a 1999 black comedy, tells the story of the Lebanese Civil War that killed more than 100,000 people. Sabbag used a “vaudevillian cast” that included foreign servants and Philanthropists, visiting expatriates and militiamen, as well as criminals. It was a bizarre and disorganized story, which mixed elements of absurdist plays with profane ones. The film’s 40-minute length was censored due to its ‘obscenity and uncomplimentary portrayal of Lebanon during this particular unsavory spell in its history’. The film was then shown only once at the Beirut International Film Festival.

Les Infideles is a drama from 1997 that focuses on the relationship between a French diplomat, and an ex-Islamist, who agree to give the names of their colleagues if the French government releases a friend in prison.

In 2005, Sabbag started a new project with the distinguished Lebanese-American Hollywood film-producer Elie Samaha with the working title Too Bad for Them. The film was expected to combine comedy, music, dancing as well as politics, and North-South socio-economic disparities. However, the film was unreleased at the time of her death.
