Monsef’s Under the Colors is slated to compete in the Shorts 5: Spotlight Middle East, Shadows and Light Section. The movie is about a mysterious female garment, which is found in a soldier’s garrison
Abbas Kiarostami’s Japanese-language drama Like Someone in Love is also programmed to be presented at the Main Competition section of the festival.
