All about Darfur

Synopsis

Taking the situation in Darfur as its catalyst the film is the contemplative journey of the film-maker to the land of her birth at a time of crisis. She examines the race dynamic in Sudanese society through the prism of her own experience of race in Britain and Sudan.
Darfur is on everyone's mind, from pedlars in the souk to professors at the University and the film offers a unique opportunity to see and hear Sudanese people articulating how they feel about the Darfur crisis, about race and politics in their country and about the place and role of the international community in their affairs.

Gilbert Watikins as Robbie (younger) In My Beginning Is My End

Director: Ben O'Connor

Year: 2026

Robbie exists on the margins of society. He lives alone on a narrow boat in rural England with little means. He has found solace in isolation and a humble life. Unexpectedly he is contacted with the unwanted news of his estranged father’s death. This drags up emotions from the past that quickly become too much to bear… And so, the story begins… A journey back into his past. A journey on a motorcycle to find his mother. He drives, alone, through desolate landscapes, barren and mountainous, into the depths of his mind. A dream world where Robbie is forced to confront his past. Two stories emerge; memories from his childhood recurrently appear, fracturing the present where ex-lovers who have shaped his life confront him in surreal encounters. With time the two stories collide, past and present become one. The road leads in one direction, back to his childhood home and ultimately, his first and now final love; his mother. For where he began, he will now end and know himself for the first time.
