'Under' stands over the rest at DIFF


December 17, 2007 Philippe Aractingi's timely relationship drama "Under the Bombs" took top prize Saturday evening as the Dubai International Film Festival handed out its Muhr Awards for Excellence in Arab Cinema competition. The Franco-Lebanese co-production, which chronicles an unexpected love affair that develops between a Christian cab driver and a Shiite woman from Dubai, won the gold award in the narrative feature category at the 4th annual event. Competition director Mohammed Rouda says that "Bombs" made an immediate impact on DIFF programmers when it was submitted for consideration following a successful showing at the Venice Film Festival.
