Since the 2000s, Khaled Mouzanar has established himself as a leading figure in the Lebanese art scene. Following his debut album, “Les Champs arides” (2007), he composed the soundtrack for Nadine Labaki’s Caramel (2007), and later wrote the music for her film Where Do We Go Now? presented at Un Certain Regard, Festival de Cannes 2011. Their collaboration achieved international recognition with Capharnaüm (2018), which he co-wrote, produced, and scored. Winner of the Jury Prize at Cannes, the film was nominated for the César Awards, the Golden Globes, and the Oscars. Alongside his classical compositions, he develops hybrid artistic projects, including Le monde va à la guerre et moi j’en reviens, presented at the Lyon Biennale of Contemporary Art. In 2025, he created 18:08 – When Gravity Was No More, an immersive installation blending documentary and poetic abstraction as a tribute to the Port of Beirut following its explosion.
