The film achieved critical acclaim, winning the Best Full-Length Feature Film award at Kino Der Kunst 2020 and the Best Director Award at the Marrakech International Film Festival 2020. Abdullah was also recognized with a nomination and shortlisting for the Best Actor Award from the Arab Cinema Center at Cannes's market.

He also participated in "Europe Takes Part," a gathering of 30 diverse speakers discussing new economic models and digital solutions for artists in a post-pandemic world.
Since 2016, Abdullah has collaborated with the German trio Carl Gari, blending avant-garde electronic soundscapes with poetic lyrics. Their debut album, "Darraje," was recognized as one of the top 50 albums of 2016 by the American NPR.

Most recently, Abdullah's album "Le Cri Du Caire," featuring Erik Truffaz, won LES VICTOIRES DU JAZZ 2023 award – the French equivalent of the Grammy Awards. in the World Music category.
As a writer, his lyrics have left a mark in the Middle East region, notably during the Arab Spring, where they were displayed in places like the Yarmouk camp in Syria.
