documentaries from sudan they brought in film festival which offers a glimpse of khartoum beyond the headlines that has a story. picking up relics of a bygone era for the sudanese filmmakers started out in the one nine hundred sixty s. and seventy's now they're determined to revive interest in their country's neglected cinema or industry. as easier said than done as the film talking about trees makes clear. it follows their efforts to screen forgotten classics and cartoon something that riles plenty of curiosity. this very old women with brain tissue and it would look and see us regularly here when the real cameras stand and see. sons when they're doing on the moon in the cinema again. and win or when they're in winter's you know that of the daily
