TEHRAN – “Damascus Time”, Ebrahim Hatamikia’s drama on the atrocities of the Daesh war in Syria, is currently on screen in several Indian cities, the Owj Arts and Media Organization, which is the producer of the film, announced on Wednesday. 

Hatamikia attended several special screenings in the cities to promote his film.

“Damascus Time” is about an Iranian pilot and his copilot son who are captured by Daesh forces in Syria while they are in the country to deliver a cargo of humanitarian relief supplies to people in a war-torn region.

Hadi Hejazifar and Babak Hamidian from Iran and several Syrian and Lebanese actors star in the movie that brought Hatamikia a Crystal Simorgh for best director at the 36th Fajr Film Festival in Tehran in 2018.
 
The film was previously screened in Syria, Iraq, Lebanon and Japan.
