What began as a vibrant "poem to a city" quickly transformed into a high-stakes document of survival.
Khartoum (2025) follows the lives of five residents—a tea seller, a resistance volunteer, a doctor, a musician, and a displaced mother—as their beloved capital is suddenly thrust into the chaos of war. Through a groundbreaking hybrid of documentary footage, artistic animation, and re-enacted memories, this film captures the heartbeat of a city that refuses to be silenced.
Directed by a collective of Sudanese filmmakers (Anas Saeed, Rawia Alhag, Ibrahim Snoopy Ahmad, Timeea Mohamed Ahmed) and Philip Cox, Khartoum is more than a movie; it is an urgent act of cinematic resistance and a celebration of the Sudanese spirit.
