In 1998 Hany Abu-Assad directed his first film, The Fourteenth Chick from a script by writer Arnon Grunberg. Later films include the short Nazareth 2000 (2000) and the feature film Rana’s Wedding (2002). Abu-Assad’s documentary film Ford Transit (set in Israel/Palestine) was banned by Dutch television when claims were made that it was a scripted film, including a Palestinian actor playing a brutal Israeli soldier. In 2006, his film Paradise Now won the Golden Globe for Best Foreign Language Film, and received an Oscar nomination in the same category.
