Talking About Trees

The film "Talking About Trees" is a poignant and thought-provoking documentary that follows four Sudanese friends who reunite in their homeland to revive the country's dormant cinema scene. After years of exile, they return to Khartoum with a dream to reopen an outdoor movie theater, a symbol of resistance against decades of Islamist censorship and bureaucratic inefficiency. With a mix of nostalgia, humor, and determination, the filmmakers recount their own experiences as artists in exile, struggling to bring back cinema to Sudan.
