10 Days Before the Wedding is a 2018 Yemeni romantic comedy film directed by Amr Gamal. It was Yemen's official submission for the 91st Academy Award for Best International Feature Film.

Production

In the spring of 2018, Director Amr Gamal began the production of his first feature film, 10 Days Before the Wedding. The film premiered in Aden during the summer of the same year, becoming the first film to be commercially released in Yemen in four decades.

As a result of the destruction of the infrastructure in Aden due to successive wars and the deterioration of cinemas due to negligence, the producers had no choice but to rent two wedding halls to screen the movie inside.

The work team constructed two wooden screens, each measuring 4 meters by 6 meters. These screens were painted white, and the film was projected onto them using two low-cost projectors.

The film was shot on a budget of $33,000. It was sponsored by Yemeni businessmen in return for playing their advertisements on the screen before the beginning of the film.

The film was shot entirely in Aden City, and filming lasted only one month.
