ABOUT SUDANESE SHORTS:
In April 1989, a group of filmmakers founded the Sudanese Film
Group (SFG) under the ruling government, only to be disbanded a few months later due to the precarious political climate. Many of the SFG’s visionary films were lost or hidden from the public until recently. Digitally restored in 2018, these rare and experimental short films touch on a variety of subjects and provide a glimpse of life in Sudan.
