Over 200 Iranian unis to screen ‘Damascus Time’

Over 200 Iranian universities request on-campus screenings of ‘Damascus Time’, a media report says.

Just 24 hours after the announcement to screen the movie in universities, some 210 institutes of higher education filled out the request form, a Monday media report said.

The university screenings for ‘Damascus Time’ will be scheduled for some time after the Persian New Year holidays.

Ebrahim Hatamikia’s ‘Damascus Time’ focuses on security threats by terrorists when an Iranian plane, conveying humanitarian aid to Syria, is challenged in Damascus Airport.

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.

‘Damascus Time’ has recently managed to grab some awards, including Crystal Simorgh for Best Director, at the latest edition of the Fajr Film Festival in Iran.
