'Damascus Time' to launch closed caption version

Ebrahim Hatamikia's award-winning film 'Damascus Time' has launched closed caption version for the deaf viewers.

The adopted version for the deaf, which is already available on the internet, along with Multilanguage subtitled version will soon be offered in a package entitled 'DVD9'.  

According to a media report, the film had accommodated the deaf early on since it was on the silver screens of the cinemas. It had a special screening for the hearing-impaired at the Book Garden on Tehran, the Iranian capital.

The film focuses on security threats by terrorists when an Iranian plane, conveying humanitarian aid to Syria, is challenged in Damascus Airport.

'Damascus time', that has already had international screenings in Syria and Iraq and has been well received by the respective audiences, has recently started wide screenings in Lebanon cinemas.

Popular Iranian actors such as Babak Hamidiyan and Hadi Hejazifar as well as a number of actors from Syria and Lebanon star in the movie.
