aKasha

Apr 28 & 29, 2025
    Part of
  • Sudanese Cinema
  • and
  • BAM Film 2025
Directed by Hajooj Kuka (2018)
With Ekram Marcus, Kamal Ramadan, Ganja Mohamed Chakado, Abdallah Alnur, Najla Kamal
Adnan is a Sudanese revolutionary who is considered a war hero. His love for his AK47 rifle is equalled only by his feelings for Lina, his long-suffering sweetheart. When Adnan is late to return to his military unit after his leave, army commander Blues launches a kasha: the rounding up and arresting of truant soldiers. Adnan is caught-off guard and makes a run for it with pacifist Absi. The two unlikely friends plot ways to reunite Adnan with his gun—and with Lina—while avoiding their fellow soldiers. Through a series of wry and humorous incidents over 24 hours, we explore life and ideology in rebel-held areas of Sudan.
