Come and experience Sudanese cinema. Voices and Visions of Sudan – A Cinematic Reflection is curated by Sudanese film curator Talal Afifi and presented by the Almas Art Foundation [almasartfoundation.org], Aya [ayafilms.org]Films [ayafilms.org], and Maona Art [maona.art]. The programme brings together films that span generations, genres and geographies to illuminate the cultural life of Sudan at a moment of historic transformation. This programme is sponsored by the BFI.

Voices and Visions of Sudan invites viewers to engage with Sudan as a living cultural landscape shaped by memory, struggle, and imagination. Through the lens of filmmakers - across generations and aesthetic modes - we encounter cinema as a form of social inquiry and cultural continuity.Voices and Visions of Sudanese Cinema is therefore not just a film series - it is a space of listening, of remembering, and of reimagining what Sudan has been, is, and can become.
