MAD Solutions Releases 3000 Nights in Jordanian Theatres


MAD Solutions has revealed the news of releasing Mai Masri's feature film 3000 Nights in Amman and Irbid, Jordan.

Irbid City Center, Irbid, and starting Tuesday, April 1st, the film will be screened at Rainbow Art House Cinema, Amman.

3000 Nights' release in Jordan takes the audience to the film's shooting location as it was shot in an abandoned old military prison in Az-Zarqā, in the northeast of Amman.
