The Women Exhibitors' Choice - The Jury by MEDIA Salles

Sguardi Altrove International Film Festival, Milan 12 March - 7 April 2025


The winning film, well beyond the conventional limits of simple documentation, succeeds in a surprising and virtuous synthesis, as sometimes the best cinema can do, of different artistic forms.

The staging of the struggles of an entire generation of young people through their songs, their murals, the interposition of their bodies, the intense dialogues, the creativity of their actions and the strength of their relationships, expresses great poetic and political energy.

The film ranges between different levels and moments with the harmonious rhythm of a poem, reaching its peak when it focuses on the young women protagonists of a struggle that is also feminine and feminist.

For all these reasons, together with the recognition of the value of denunciation of the work and the merit of spreading knowledge of an often forgotten reality, our jury has decided to award SUDAN REMEMBER US, by director Hind Meddeb.
