Endless Beginnings
Three packed days of screenings and encounters in the program "Endless Beginnings | Three Days of Ongoing Sudanese Cinema"
About the project
Fourteen short films by Sudanese directors from different eras, followed by discussions attended by some of them.
The program was curated by Hossam Hilali, who traced the recurring moments of beginning in the history of Sudanese cinema, where a first attempt becomes memory and a contribution to the ever-renewed question of origin.
