Il n’y a presque plus de salles de cinéma au Soudan. Pourtant il y en avait un certain nombre. Un exploitant de salles se souvient de ces jours meilleurs.

There are almost no cinemas in Sudan, but they did exist at one point. A cinema owner talks about better days.

Closed cinemas. Primarily visually approached. Not spectacularly, but quietly and carefully. The symbolism of closed, derelict cinemas is strong. Their demise wasn’t for economic, but for political and religious reasons. A woman tells the story of her cinema.
