OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
This award-winning documentary comes to Oxford straight from the London Film Festival. It beautifully tells the story of five Sudanese people – a civil servant, a tea lady, a resistance committee volunteer, and two street boys – all in search of freedom, who have their stories unexpectedly woven together through animated dreams, street revolutions and a civil war.
Attending the screening are two of the film’s protaganists who have flown in from Nairobi and so, following the screening we will have a Directors Q&A. This is with Rawia Alhag, a Sudanese journalist based in Nairobi; Khadmallah Ali, a Sudanese activist also based in Nairobi; and Phil Cox, a British filmmaker, followed by a short wine reception.
A world cinema collaboration produced by Native Voice Films & The Sudan Film Factory. Directed by Rawia Alhag, Anas Saeed, Ibrahim Snoopy, Timeea Mohammed & Phil Cox. Produced by Giovanna Stopponi & Talal Afifi.
