Nadi Cinema and Middle East Film Club on Wednesday

Nadi Cinema, the Middle East film series at the U of A, will screen the 2015 Egyptian film Decor at 7 p.m. today, March 9.

In this psychological drama by acclaimed director Ahmad Abdalla, a movie production designer finds herself slipping into the role of a character in the film she would rather be making.  As the border between reality and imagination becomes blurred, she must choose for the first time what she truly desires.

Nadi Cinema screens films from across the Middle East and often beyond. All films — classics, cult favorites, recent hits, comedies, tragedies, political thrillers, social commentaries and romances — are subtitled in English. Screenings are free and open to the public.

The series is hosted by history professor Joel Gordon and meets at 7 p.m. in the Hembree Auditorium, room 107E in the Agricultural Food and Life Science building (AFLS), next to the Pat Walker Health Center on Maple Street. Metered parking is available nearby at the Garland Avenue Parking Garage. Call 479-575-2175 for more information on the Spring 2022 line-up. 

Come see movies the way they were filmed to be screened — in a dark theater with friends and strangers.
