Director Yaser Al Neyadi's short Film Shrimp will be screened at the Warehouse421 in Abu Dhabi on the 29th of November at 07:00 pm (GMT 4+). The screening comes as part of Wednesdays at the Warehouse
Programme, in collaboration with Cinema Akil.

Launched in 2015, Warehouse421 is a cultural space that encourages artistic expressions, and supports the perceptive processes, in order to reinforce the UAE's creative community. It was transformed from an industrial warehouse located in the Mina Zayed of Abu Dhabi, to a platform for art and culture, design and creativity, performance and music, from regional, international and UAE-based artists, designers and cultural practitioners.

The events of Shrimp take place in weird night when a group of people brought together under absurd circumstances and they express their darkest sides and their most twisted desires. The short film received the Best Director Award within the Muhr Gulf Short Competition at the Dubai International Film Festival (DIFF).

Written and directed by Yaser Al Neyadi, Shrimp stars Khalid Alnuaimi, Sultan Alshamisi, Hanan Alblooshi, Adel Abdu, Mohamed Salah, and Ksenia Giorno. MAD Solutions is handling the film's distribution in the Arab world.
