شجن وهما ومزّمل، نشطاء شباب سودانيون يتوقون إلى الحرية. ثورتهم شعرية، تحركها قوة الكلمة، في معركة غير عادلة تضع أصوات الشباب في مواجهة القوى العسكرية.
This film is the second feature documentary by French-Tunisian director Hind Meddeb. Her previous film, "Paris Stalingrad", produced by Abel Nahmias (Echo Films), was shown at Cinéma du Réel and Toronto Film Festival, before winning numerous selections and awards around the world. It was released in French cinemas in May 2021. "Sudan When Poems Fall Apart" is produced by Abel Nahmias (Echo Films), Michel Zana and Alice Ormières (Blue Train Films) in France, and Tao Guiga (My Way) in Tunisia. The provisional budget is $474,271 and 64% of the financing is already secured. It will be distributed by Dulac Distribution in France. The film is currently in the editing phase, with image editor Gladys Joujou. We are currently looking for international sales agents, MENA distributors and financing partners to close the budget and finish the post-production of the film, for a delivery late 2023 - early 2024.
Created in 2010 and directed by Abel Nahmias, ECHO FILMS has produced a dozen films, including successful mainstream comedies, such as “La Beuze” and “The 11 Commandments” both by François Desagnat and Thomas Sorriaux, "20 Years Apart" by David Moreau, and arthouse documentaries such as “Paris Stalingrad” by Hind Meddeb.
Based in Paris, BLUE TRAIN FILMS was created by Michel Zana (also head of Dulac Distribution and Dulac ProductionsIn) in 2017. The company has produced “Only Silence”, a short film by Lebanese director Katia Jarjoura, and is currently co-producing Hind Meddeb’s documentary “Sudan, When Poems Fall Apart”.
