Synopsis

Ibrahim, Manar, Suleiman and Altayeb, four veteran members of the Sudanese Film Club, embark on a journey in which they aim to revive and old cinema to bring cinemagoing culture back to their country. In the crisis-ridden country, the four friends encounter insurmountable resistance.

Our take

Suhaib Gasmelbari’s charming portrait of a group of friends reveals the power of filmmaking and moviegoing in Sudan, where both are politically difficult to realize. With a comic twinkle, it offers insight into a cultural landscape rarely explored while celebrating a passion for cinema to endure.
