Amjad Abu El-Ela's Sudanese film "You'll die in the twentieth century" was an unprecedented success at the 76th edition of the Venice Film Festival, where critics and the public paid tribute to the film for a few minutes.
The film received its first prize from the Italian Adventures Foundation, which rewards outstanding films on the sidelines of the Venice Film Festival.
Adventage awarded this award to the festival's most influential African film. The awards ceremony will take place Tuesday night at the Excelsior Hotel, in the Lido, Venice.
In an exclusive interview with RT, Hossam Alwan, one of the film's producers, said the film was shot in Madani province and in the state of Gezira in central Sudan, co-funded by the Sudan, Egypt, Germany, France and Norway. He will also participate in the El Gouna Film Festival from 19 to 27 September and the Busan Festival from 3 to 12 October, as well as at several European festivals.
The film takes place in a Sudanese village, when a woman gives birth to her son, Muzammil, after years of waiting, but a mystical prophecy says that the child will die when he is 20 years old. Another garment is alive and events continue until Suleiman returns to the village, having worked as director of photography in the city, far from the village's Sufi beliefs. Here, Muzammil sees the world differently, through an old movie projector belonging to Solomon. Muzammil's personality soon begins to change with Suleiman and his suspicion grows more and more about the truth of the disturbing prophecy.
The mother, with all her energy, tries to prevent the prophecy from happening, and the film continues until her twentieth birthday.
