As the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences® comes close to announcing the Academy Award® winning films on Sunday, 28 February, MAD Solutions has decided to re-release director Naji Abu Nowar's Jordanian film Theeb in Arab cinemas to offer Arab audiences the opportunity to watch the Oscar® nominated film for Best Foreign Language Film. The film will be launched in Metropolis cinema in Beirut on Sunday, 7 February for 10 days only at 5:30 pm and 10:00 pm (GMT+2).

Theeb's return to cinemas comes after its successful screenings in 11 Arab countries in 2015; an astounding achievement by a non-Egyptian Arab film. MAD Solutions will continue to release the film in cinemas until the Oscar® winning films are finally announced.

Theeb is Jordanian director/writer Naji Abu Nowar's first feature film which he co-scripted with Bassel Ghandour. Set in the Arabian Desert of 1916, the film follows Theeb, a young Bedouin boy, and his brother Hussein as they leave the safety of their tribe to venture on a treacherous journey at the dawn of the Great Revolt. If Theeb is to survive he must quickly learn about adulthood, trust and betrayal.
