Talking About Trees
No upcoming showtimes scheduled.
Director: Suhaib Gasmelbari
2019 / 93min / DCP
Gasmelbari’s meditative documentary, concerning the seemingly insurmountable difficulties faced during an attempt by four members of the Sudanese Film Group to revive a long-shuttered outdoor cinema in the city of Obdurman, provides a sharply observed portrait of enduring friendship bonded through cinephilia as well as an abridged history of film art’s struggle against censorship and bureaucratic meddling in the Sudan. “Speaks to all of us about what cinema means to us; about the beauty of seeing a film as an audience, of experiencing it collectively.”—Variety
Restored in 2018 by Arsenal - Institute for Film and Video Art in collaboration with Sudanese Film Group.
