Screening: KHARTOUM + SABREN, with filmmaker in attendance!

In these two distinct depictions of crisis and revolt in Sudan, we follow citizens who recount their lives through experimental green-screen techniques (KHARTOUM), and the fierce frontline protest movements that emerged after Sudan’s October 2021 coup (SABREN). KHARTOUM will be preceded by SABREN, a Sudanese short film by Eythar Gubara that focuses on the struggles of Sudanese revolutionaries following the October 2021 events.

KHARTOUM
Rawia Alhag, Timeea M Ahmed, Anas Saeed, Brahim Snoopy Ahmed, & Philip Cox / Sudan / Uk / Germany / Qatar / 2025 / 78’
A modern and personal take on documentary storytelling in Sub-Saharan Africa, KHARTOUM is set against a Sudan in revolution, a military coup, and civil war. The emotions and inner worlds of five very different Sudanese citizen-participants, struggling to stay alive in their country’s turmoil, are in profile.
