Talking about Trees
Sudanese cinema is all but dead, when some of its oldest living directors get together to talk about reviving a derelict movie theatre called «The Revolution». Their daily tribulations in this tragicomic quest are interspersed with clips from their own films and other Sudanese classics.
Suhaib Gasmelbari pays tribute to his predecessors and reflects on the role of cinema in society.
