Christian Abi Abboud Filmmaker Christian Abi Abboud was born on the 13 of may 1980 in Beirut, a city divided by civil war. His experience of a city divided between east and west marked his childhood, images of war and corruption created a unique bond between him and his hometown, Beirut.

It was only when he produced and directed UBUNTU that he got the attention of the film industry and was considered as a new director to watch. Ubuntu that tells the story of Syrian Woman who seeked asylum in Sweden, then falls in love with a Lebanese filmmaker, and finds herself tangled between her new life in Europe, and her fear of going back to the Middle east that crushed her initial life dreams, that Premiered at Vancouver Doc Festival, and won the Jury prize at Karama festival Amman.

Hi, I am a freelance storyteller about the art of living, knowledge and intangibles since the ancient times in my country. Most of the times I am running after the global tastes like snow ice cream at the high mountains or the mysteries of eating habits like probiotics or the hidden knowledge behind the history like the lonely Hecate temple, smiling face of Virgin Mary. I retired from TRT Turkish Radio and Television Corporation News deqartment. More than 25 years I collect many stories and I am looking an opportunity to broadcast them. I shoot and edit my stories via ipad. It is such a big challenge for me to travel freely on my own and create the stories immediately with a high motivation. I feel free and limitless, I have the stories and my ipad. Technically ipad limits my imagination but I am improving myself with the new applications like iphoto, imotion.
