TEHRAN (ISNA)- Iran�s Muhammad: The Messenger of Gid by Majid Majidi was showcased in Moscow.

The film was screened in a cinema in presence of Majidi and Iran�s Ambassador to Russia Mehdi Sanaie with Russian subtitling.

Majidi has said the aim of his film is removing the �violent image� of Islam created by Takfiri groups.

A number of internationally-acclaimed cinematic figures, including Academy Award winning visual effects supervisor and filmmaker Scott E. Anderson, three-time Oscar-winning Italian director of photography Vittorio Storaro and renowned Croat production designer Milijen Kreka Kljakovic, cooperated in making the film; and Academy Award-winning Indian music composer Allah-Rakha Rahman has also composed the music for the movie.
