Never one to rest on her laurels, Palestinian actress Hiam Abbass arrived at the Abu Dhabi Film Festival not only to accept one of its prestigious Black Pearl awards for career achievement, but also to give one out as part of the narrative competition journey, and to present her latest movie, Ghazi Albuliwi's New York-set culture-clash comedy "Peace After Marriage." Wearing so many hats at once is nothing new for the Paris-based star perhaps most familiar to American audiences for Thomas McCarthy's "The Visitor": she recently made her feature debut as writer and director with "Inheritance," and supplemented her supporting role in Steven Spielberg's "Munich" with dialect coaching. Indiewire sat down with the multi-talented artist on the morning of her award to talk politics, passing up roles, and the challenge of marrying the actor's personal conviction with the director's creative vision. So, you're here to receive your career achievement award.
