Pink Dreams

Within the tradition of Egyptian film poster art, the color pink is often deployed to celebrate femininity and love, especially for stories featuring women in the lead role. It is typically used in these artworks to highlight beauty, signal romance, or suggest boldness of character or spirit. Pink has been emancipated from solely announcing harmlessness or cuteness: film heroines spotlighted in pink hues often show immense courage in chasing their dreams, inspiring others, and achieving their goals.

Our Pink Dreams Collection brings together posters from across different eras and styles of Egyptian cinema, from films of the 1950s through the '70s. These films are stories about young love, told from the perspective of the young lovers and exploring their trials and tribulations, the challenges they overcome, and the triumphs they savor.

These are not just valuable collectibles from beloved works of film art: if you are decorating, the bright pink keynote elements, backgrounds, and accents pop with color and can inspire a warm and playful look for any space.
