The acclaimed documentary film ‘Three Disappearances of Soad Hosni’ will stream at 8.30pm on April 3 via the Sharjah Art Foundation website, as part of a new digital initiative titled ‘SAF Online: Film’.

The film will show once only, and will not be available on demand; SAF lists the title as suitable for viewers 18 and over.
