Suddenly TV
ABOUT
A group of young Sudanese people create an imaginary television station at a besieged sit-in. Interviewing protestors from around the country, they confront the violence of the regime and conjure a new Sudan.
Roopa Gogineni is an Indian-American director and photographer focused on historical memory and modes of resistance. Her films have screened at festivals around the world including IDFA, SXSW, Hot Docs, Full Frame and Sheffield Doc/Fest. Gogineni's practice is rooted in long-term engagement and co-creation. Her short film I AM BISHA earned the Oscar-qualifying Full Frame Jury Award for Best Short, a One World Media Award, and a Rory Peck Award. Her most recent short, SUDDENLY TV, is a dispatch from Sudan’s revolution now traveling to festivals. She has directed documentaries for The New York Times, BBC, and Al Jazeera and has received fellowships from CatchLight, Logan Nonfiction and FRONTLINE/Firelight.
