Revolutionary Tales is a short film segment guest-curated by Sudanese filmmaker Rafa Renas. This series of films depicts various perspectives and revolutionary currents in Sudan’s recent history.


Rafa Renas is a Sudanese producer and filmmaker. Based in Khartoum, she produces cross-media campaigns, promoting a civil society, integration, and gender issues.

She was a co-curator of Aflam Sudan in Kenya, and she is a guest curator for the segment Revolutionary Tales at this year’s Twin Cities Arab Film Festival.
