Tajouje + Al-Sit

Museum of the Moving Image

Set against the stunning desert landscapes of eastern Sudan, Tajouje weaves a poignant tale of folklore, passion, and tragedy. Directed by trailblazing filmmaker Gadalla Gubara, the film explores a passionate romance that defies tribal customs and leads to heartbreak and exile, supported by the haunting voice of lead actor Salah ibn Al Badiya. This work not only showcases exquisite imagery but also marks a significant milestone in Sudanese cinema.
