Sharjah 24 – AFP: Sudanese filmmakers brought attention to their country's devastating war and global indifference at the Aswan International Women Film Festival in Egypt. Despite facing challenges, they remain determined to use cinema to address Sudan's silent struggles and reignite hope.
Films like "A Brick for Them" and "Women of War" depict the plight of displaced women and the impact of conflict on Sudanese communities. These powerful narratives shed light on the human cost of war and the resilience of those affected by it.
Despite hardships, Sudanese filmmakers are committed to continuing production and showcasing their stories, even in the face of adversity. Their presence at international film festivals like Cannes and Venice demonstrates their determination to share Sudan's untold stories with the world.
In a Sudan hungry for change, a new cinema style has emerged, fed by the energy of the revolution that ousted Bashir. Films like "You Will Die at 20" have garnered international acclaim, showcasing the talent and creativity of Sudanese filmmakers.
Even as cinemas remain rare in Sudan, filmmakers like Eiman Yousif believe that all you need is a projector and a white wall to show people films. Despite the challenges, Sudanese cinema continues to thrive, offering a glimpse into the realities of life in a war-torn country.
