Dreamaway by Egyptian director Marouan Omara and German director Johanna Domke will release at Zawya Cinema starting Wednesday, January 9. This marks the film's first commercial release in the heels of its participation in international film festivals. The film screening will be with English subtitles and followed by a number of Q&A sessions attended by director Marouan Omara.

Representing freedom and easy cash, Sharm El Sheikh has long been a dream destination for Egyptian youth. Recently, terror attacks have brought tourism in the resort town to a halt. Dreamaway follows a group of young employees of a luxury hotel compound, where clichés and stereotypes of Western and Oriental cultures clash. This carousel-like experience elevates the youths into a dreamlike state.

Directed by Marouan Omara and Johanna Domke, Dreamaway is produced by Roman Roitman, (Monokel/Germany), Mark Lotfy (Fig Leaf Studio/Egypt) and Marouan Omara and Arne Birkenstock (Fruitmarket Kultur und Medien/Germany). MAD Solutions is handling the film's distribution across the Arab world.
