Cinema in Sudan: Conversations with Gadalla Gubara (2008)
The film builds up a portrait of a great Sudanese film-maker, Gadalla Gubara. At eighty-seven, he is one of the pioneers of cinema in Africa. He has recently lost his sight but still continues to film life in Sudan as no one before him. Through his oeuvre, Gadalla reveals to us a Sudan both mysterious and misunderstood. Despite censorship and lack of financial support over sixty years, he has produced cinema that is independent and unique in a country where freedom of expression is a rare luxury.

Great visuals, story delivers no surprises
I saw this movie before reading any reviews, and I thought it was very funny. I was very surprised to see the overwhelmingly negative reviews this film received from critics.
The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.
A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
