New Century Debuts the Full-length Music Video on Decor's Official Facebook Page

On Decor's official Facebook page New Century Production has released the full-length music video of Shababeek, which comes as part of the new feature. The company unveiled the music video only after Decor’s release in theaters last Wednesday.

Musician Hani Adel covered Mohamed Mounir's famous song Shababeek, which was the title track of Mounir's third studio album of the same name in the early 1980s. Affectionately known by his fans as “The King”, Shababeek is one of Mounir's most celebrated songs. Adel dedicated his cover to all the dedicated fans of “The King” Mounir.

Commenting on the song, Hani Adel stated, “Shababeek is one of the most celebrated songs by musicphiles in general and Mounir's fans in specific. I consider myself lucky to cover this song and I think it absolutely goes with the film’s storyline and highlights the emotional conflicts of Decor’s characters which adds to my excessive happiness to perform this masterpiece by Mounir.”

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.

Before its release across Egyptian theatres, Decor embarked on a successful march across film festivals worldwide. Last October, the film landed its World Premiere at the BFI London Film Festival, which is one of the largest European festivals screening hundreds of films from around the world every year. Also, Decor received its Egyptian Premiere at the 36th Cairo International Film Festival as part of its Special Screenings section last November.

In Tunisia, Decor vied within the Official Competition: Feature Films at the 25th Carthage Film Festival. Moreover, the film competed at the 25th Singapore International Film Festival (SIFF) as part of its Filmmaker in Focus section which screened a number of Ahmad Abdalla's films.
