Sudan / 2025 / 6mins / Experimental and Politic / Arabic

Set against the backdrop of a forest, an artist clad in traditional "Aragy" attire navigates the chaos of his inner world and the war-torn reality of Sudan. As a member of the Sudanese diaspora, he mentally escapes the brutal truths of his homeland's conflict. Through a series of visually striking and symbolic scenes, he expresses his inner
turmoil and the profound impacts of war on all Sudanese people, regardless of their ethnicities and affiliations. From standing alone in a forest to interacting with symbols of his past and present—newspapers and a denied passport —jafar's journey is both a plea and a critique, urging his compatriots to acknowledge their shared suffering and the need for unity. His eccentric behavior and fragmented thoughts reflect his denial and his desperate need to address the horrors affecting his homeland.
