TEHRAN-The 2016 internationally co-produced drama film “Clash” directed by Mohamed Diab will be screened at the cinematheque of the Tehran Museum of Contemporary Art on Sunday.

The film screening, from the program dedicated to showing movies about resistance, will start at 3 p.m. and will be followed by a review session in the presence of the film critic, researcher, translator, and instructor Vahidollah Mousavi, ILNA reported.

The 97-minute war/thriller was officially selected by the 2016 Cannes Film Festival and was the opening film of the Festival's Un Certain Regard section that year.

Set entirely in an eight-meter police truck in Cairo, several detainees from different political and social backgrounds are brought together by fate, during the turmoil that followed the ousting of former president Morsi from power in June 2013.

Mohamed Diab, 45, is an Egyptian screenwriter and director whose work often centers on pressing issues concerning Egyptian society. He is known for his directorial debut film “Cairo 678,” which was released a month before the Egyptian revolution, and for directing Disney's Marvel series “Moon Knight”.
