FARAH/Sudanese Filmmaking Association: TALKING ABOUT THE REVOLUTION

In this Cine Lecture, a Sudanese cinema activist gives insights how he and other filmmakers shaped and influenced the Sudanese revolution through their work.

During military dictatorship of al-Bashir, the people of Sudan were largely deprived of cinema life. From 1989 until the toppling of the regime in April 2019, all cinemas were shut. Despite massive oppression, filmmakers not only took an active part in the revolution, their documentations and secret screenings have contributed to the toppling of the regime. With comments on the actual situation, this cine lecture will provide insights in ongoing activities on how Sudanese filmmakers strive to revitalize cinema in their country.
