問題詳情：

Lebanese filmmaker Nadine Labaki has become the first female artist in the Arab world to be nominated (提名) for an Academy Award, or Oscar.

Labaki directed the film Capernaum, a film about a Syrian refugee (難民) boy and a Kenyan baby who live without parents on the streets of Beirut. It was nominated for best foreign language film.

Labaki will be one of the few female directors to compete for an Oscar this year. She told TheAssociatedPress “I wish there were a lot more women filmmakers this year represented，nominated in the Oscars. But I am sure in a few years we won't be having this problem anymore.”

Unlike in the West, women filmmakers are industry leaders in Lebanon.

Capernaum received a 15­minute standing ovation (熱烈歡迎) at this year's Cannes Film Festival. It won the Jury Prize—the third­highest award given at Cannes.

The United Nations has publicly praised the film. Lebanon's Foreign Minister said Capernaum put a Lebanese touch on the international film industry.

The Oscar nomination of Capernaum is the second for Lebanon in two years in the film group. It demonstrates the country's rising star power.

Labaki called making the movie a life­changing experience. She said Capernaum helps humanize the real struggles of refugees only briefly talked about in the news.

“We can't help but acknowledge that there is a fear of refugees in general around the world and there are these walls we are building, and this fear keeps growing，” Labaki said.

Capernaum will compete against four other films for the Oscar, including awards season favorite Roma. Directed by Mexico's Alfonso Cuaron, it earned 10 Oscar nominations, including for best picture.
