Fire eldre sudanesiske filmskapere med lidenskap for film kjemper for å bringe kinoopplevelsen tilbake til Sudan, selv om de møter motstand. Deres 'Sudans Filmklubb' har bestemt seg for å renovere en gammel kino og nok en gang skape oppmerksomhet rundt Sudans filmhistorie.
"Talking About Trees" er en varm dokumentarfilm om sudansk filmtradisjon og kunstens vanskelige situasjon i politisk turbulente tider. En gang var kinoen fylt av liv og tusenvis av stoler stod på rekke. Her statt mennesker som ble betatt, rørt og skremt, lo og gråt. Mennesker som delte en kultur som plutselig forsvant.

Four older Sudanese filmmakers with passion for film battle to bring cinema-going back to Sudan, not without resistance. Their 'Sudanese Film Club' have decided to revive an old cinema, and again draw attention to Sudanese film history.
“Talking about Trees” is a warm documentary about Sudanese film tradition and the struggle for art in political and turbulent times. The cinema was once filled with life and a row of thousand chairs. This is where people sat and were moved, frightened and elated, and where they laughed and cried. A people that shared a culture that suddenly disappeared.

Arabisk filmfest er en liten festival, men med et stort hjerte og drives i stor grad på dugnad. Vi ønsker at alle skal ha muligheten til å delta, så derfor har vi innført forskjellige priskategorier slik at man kan delta, uansett økonomi.
Arabisk filmfest is an annual festival held in Bergen that showcases internationally recognized and award-winning films from and about the Arab region. We aim to highlight diverse classic and mainstream films that contribute to a more inclusive and representative film culture. Through various genres such as drama, comedy, thrillers, and documentaries, the festival provides a unique insight into a culture and a world that Western audiences often only see through the news.
In addition to the films, the festival offers panel discussions, safe spaces to discuss films, opportunities to savor Arabic music and food together, and a range of experiences meant to engage and inspire attendees and create a sense of community and inclusion.
The Arab Film Festival is organized in collaboration with Cinemateket I Bergen.
