Egyptian director Ehab Moustafa reveals that the first Egyptian docudrama film discussing the issue of independent women is in production.
Ehab Moustafa explained In an interview with Egypt Today the significance of choosing this particular film genre: The docudrama genre is similar to a feature-length fictional film that draws from the writer s imagination, but at the same time depends on actual and realistic stories that are acted out on camera by the individuals who have experienced these events, where the film adopts these “characters ” perspectives.
“Colored Dress” stars a group of real, non-actor women, each of whom reenacting the events of their personal stories in the film s dramatic format.
The director, who was also the main contributor to the idea behind the film, adds: The film is a combination of reality and fiction. The actresses profiles were taken from real drama therapy sessions in which they were participating in scenario and dialogue acting.
