Khartoum (2025 Drama 1 h 20 min) By Rawia Alhag, Ibrahim Snoopy, Anas Saeed, Timeea M Ahmed, Phil Cox

Five lives, one city, a nation at war. A civil servant, a tea lady, a resistance committee volunteer and two street boys. Five stories from Sudan weave together in search of freedom through animated dreams, street revolutions and a war from the metropolis of Khartoum to escape in East Africa.

Come and experience Sudanese cinema. Voices and Visions of Sudan — A Cinematic Reflection is curated by Sudanese film curator Talal Afifi and presented by the Almas Art Foundation almasartfoundation.org, Aya ayafilms.orgFilms ayafilms.org, and Maona Art maona.art. The programme brings together films that span generations, genres and geographies to illuminate the cultural life of Sudan at a moment of historic transformation. This programme is sponsored by the BFI.

Voices and Visions of Sudan invites viewers to engage with Sudan as a living cultural landscape shaped by memory, struggle, and imagination. Through the lens of filmmakers – across generations and aesthetic modes – we encounter cinema as a form of social inquiry and cultural continuity. Voices and Visions of Sudanese Cinema is therefore not just a film series – it is a space of listening, of remembering, and of reimagining what Sudan has been, is, and can become.
