Mizna’s 18th Twin Cities Arab Film Festival closes with a pair of special screenings and a reception co-presented with the Walker.
The festival’s closing-night film by award-winning Sudanese filmmaker Mohamed Kordofani features a retired singer’s attempts to make amends with a widow. Taking place in Khartoum during the last years of Sudan as a united country, Goodbye Julia presages the political and humanitarian crisis in the Sudan today, while confronting the polarizing racism and social apartheid in divided Sudanese communities, in an expression of the director’s desire for reconciliation. 2023, Sudan, DCP, in Arabic with English subtitles, 120 min.
