Jocelyn Saab

Jocelyn Saab was born on Apr 30, 1948 in Lebanon. Jocelyn Saab's big-screen debut came with Kanya Ya Ma Kan, Beyrouth directed by Jocelyne Saab in 1995.

She was born and raised in Beirut, Lebanon. Her first job was hosting a pop music program on the national Lebanese radio station called "Marsipulami got blue eyes." Then she became a television newsreader. Once civil war broke out in Lebanon, Saab started working on documentary films. That led to a job as second unit director for "Circle of Deceit" directed by Volker Schlondorff in 1981, which happened to be about the Lebanese civil war. She continued to report and document on the war, but moved to Paris, France after having lost so much due to the war.
