She has done extensive work as a director, cinematographer, and editor. Karen’s latest body of work deals with the socio-political, as well as the rediscovery of her voice as an artist in an environment that expects one to conform to a set of societal standards. Any of the controversial subjects addressed through her films can be subject to conflict, if not within her country of origin, certainly within the household. Karen’s last film Beyrouth 87 is a reenactment of her childhood days during the Lebanese Civil War. She is currently working on the documentary Maid In Lebanon.
