Ghadi (film)

Ghadi (Arabic: غدي) is a 2013 Lebanese drama film directed by Amin Dora. The film was originally selected as the Lebanese entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 86th Academy Awards[1][2] in a two-way race over Lara Saba's Blind Intersections.[2] When the film's release date was moved from 26 September 2013 to 31 October 2013,[3] it no longer met the eligibility dates and Blind Intersections became the official submission from Lebanon. The film was submitted the following year as Lebanon's official submission, but was not nominated.[4]
