“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.
