The feature film 'Shabab Sheyab' will premiere in Saudi Arabia today, November 8, to become the first GCC film to play in cinemas following the opening of movie theatres in the Kingdom this year.
Image Nation Abu Dhabi released the film in Riyadh today with the full trailer available now. The star-studded UAE premiere will take place at Atlantis The Palm on November 17, with the full cinema release on November 22.
Directed and written by Yasir Al Yasiri, the family-friendly movie follows four elderly friends (featuring prominent GCC actors: Saad Al Faraj, Marei Al Halian and Mansoor Al Feeli, alongside Syrian star Salloum Haddad) living in a senior citizens home. When one of them inherits a large fortune, the friends escape for a life-changing adventure in Dubai, encouraged by their doctor and nurse, played by Kuwaiti stars Laila Abdullah and Fouad Ali.

A GCC film will finally screen in Saudi Arabia! @ImagenationAD's @ShababSheyab is now the first ever GCC film to be released in the Kingdom starting tomorrow in @VOX_Cinemas_KSA. #SupportArabCinema pic.twitter.com/jI3kOuWiLNBen Ross, Chief Content Officer at Image Nation Abu Dhabi, said, "Saudi Arabia has launched an ambitious vision for a sustainable and commercially viable film industry, and with 15 million consumers under the age of 25, this is a significant new market for local creativity. Arabic-language entertainment is in high demand among Saudi and GCC audiences, so opening the first regionally-made film in the country is a major milestone and sets the tone for a bright future."
