SULAIMANI, Kurdistan Region - The premiere screening of the film ‘Love in the Time of Corona’ took place in Sulaimani on Friday.
A blue carpet was laid out at City Cinema as a sign of gratitude to the doctors and health workers who heroically cared for people during the coronavirus pandemic. Around 150 of the 800 guests were healthcare professionals who arrived at the cinema in ambulances.
“Our goal was to reach every audience and see what the coronavirus did at that time and how it destroyed all human values,” star of the film Mahir Hassan told Rudaw’s Peshawa Bakhtyar on Friday.
The film is a combination of comedy, romance, and drama.
“We have to restore respect for comedy. Comedy is not just about laughing. It must be accompanied by thought,” said director Shwan Atoof.
Sponsored by Rudaw Media Network, the 140-minute film will be shown in Erbil, Sulaimani, Duhok, and Kirkuk provinces on the first day of Eid al-Adha.
“Thank you to Rudaw for always supporting my films and those of our fellow filmmakers,” said Atoof.
The film, which took nearly two years to complete, features leading performances by Mahir Hassan, Ahmad Jola, and Reshan Hemo. It was produced by Soran Othman and So Production.
