In celebration of Decor’s release in Egyptian theatres, New Century Production held the film’s premiere in City Stars cinema in Nasr City. The star-studded event was attended by the film’s cast and a hefty of celebrities, film stars and media figures.

The screening was also attended by Decor’s filmmakers including Khaled Abol Naga, Horeya Farghaly, Atef Youssef, Yara Goubran, Screenwriters Mohamed Diab and Sherin Diab, Director Ahmed Abdalla and Ahmed Badawy, the General Manager of Dollar Film and New Century Production.

Two hours prior to Decor’s premiere, New Century Production held a special screening in Zawya at Odeon cinema, Downtown with the attendance of the film’s director Ahmad Abdalla. The screening was followed by a panel discussion with Abdalla who answered the questions shared by the attendees. He commented that his collaboration with a giant slate such as New Century Production marks an important milestone in his career. He also pointed that Ahmed Badawy, the General Manager of New Century Production, received his idea of making the film in black and white with great zeal and instantly approved it.

“New Century was very cooperative with us and agreed on taking black-and-white test shots for the three stars during the casting. These scenes were screened in Odeon cinema for a full viewing experience and the result was marvelous and the actors had such an awesome chemistry,” added Ahmed Abdalla.

Filmed entirely in black and white, Decor's unconventional plot tells the story of Maha, who has always been passionate about film and who, as a set designer, has become an expert at creating imaginary worlds. Under immense pressure at work, Maha sights another life on the horizon and begins slipping between realities-one resembling the film set she's designed and the other her supposed real life. These two worlds are represented by the characters Sherif and Mustafa. As Maha grows ever more entangled in each, the border between the real and imagined becomes blurred. Maha walks a fine line between her parallel lives, and must decide for the first time what she truly desires.

Starring Khaled Abol Naga, Horeya Farghaly, and Maged El Kedwany, Decor marks Sherin Diab's screenwriting debut. Decor is co-written by Sherin with her brother Mohamed Diab and will be distributed in Egypt by Dollar Film.
