Sudanese Cinema, 1964 Onwards

Sudanese Cinema, 1964 Onwards brings together five screenings of rare, restored, and historically significant films that reveal cinema as a space of resistance, political imagination, cultural memory, and artistic experimentation. Moving from anti-colonial allegory to exile, socialist internationalism, and documentary witness, the programme offers London audiences a rare opportunity to encounter one of the most vital and under-seen histories of Arab and African cinema.

Alongside the screenings, the programme will include commissioned texts, invited speakers, and public discussions that place these films in dialogue with Sudanese modernism, political history, exile, and contemporary cultural memory.

Tickets will be available via Curzon are £20/£22 each
