Born in Lebanon, he studied at the Sainte Famille Wadi Chahrour school, then obtained a bachelor's degree in TV and Cinema, and a master's degree in Film Directing from the Lebanese University - Institute of Fine Arts.
Nour Almoujabber's first short film The Stream (French: Le Ruisseau) (starring Christine Choueiri, Boutros Rouhana, Ralf Bou Chaya and Bissan Ahmad) toured the world to get Almoujabber his first awards.[1]
In 2019, Almoujabber attended a masterclass led by Sesame Workshop in Jordan. He was chosen from 20 writers from the Arab World to co-write Ahlan Simsim (Arabic: أهلًا سمسم), the Arabic-language co-production of Sesame Street.[2] The show will soon air its seventh season.[3]
In 2019, Almoujabber’s masters’ short film What's Your Name (Arabic: شو اسمك) was the key to the audience’s recognition of the writer and director’s style.[4]
Almoujabber focuses on writing scripts in a closed space,[5] so the viewers focus on the dialogue and the mastery of acting. What's Your Name starred Randa Kaady and Nassib Sebaaly .[6]
The film toured 34 countries including Russia, Italy, Azerbaijan,[7] the United States, Jordan, Australia, Canada, Netherlands, France, Tunisia, Egypt, Yemen,[8] Poland, Sweden, Canada[9] and his hometown Lebanon.[10]
Following his studies, Almoujabber worked on TV series as a writer, and short films as a script doctor, assistant director, and editor alongside his independent short films: On The Edge [11] (Arabic: هون وتحت),starring Sany Abdul Baki[12] and Joseph Akiki, and Another Conversation, starring Ramy Farah.[13]
Almoujabber joined 2Pure Studios[14] in 2022, diving into the world of voice-over writing. After a while, he worked on two consecutive docu-drama TV series. The Goal[15] (Arabic: الهدف), a biography of Saudi football legend Saeed Al Owairan, which aired on Shahid, while the second project, currently entitled Ghayeb [En: Disappeared] is in the pre-production phase.
The success of his short film What's Your Name inspired Almoujabber to develop it into a feature film with the same title. He attended Rawi Residency[16] in 2022 with Royal Film Committee in Jordan.[17]
Nour Almoujabber is currently working on his first novel, The Excuses I Give Her.[18]
