SUDAN - WAITING FOR THE FUTURE
- VISUAL ARTS EXHIBITION
In late 2004, three photo-journalists lived in the Kakuma refugee camp in the North Kenyan desert where 60,000 Sudanese people
have sought refuge.
Photographing the movement of people from the world's longest running civil war to the refugee camp in Kenya and then to the safety
and protection of Melbourne, Australia, these photojournalists have compiled over 100 images that show the strength
and resilience of the human spirit.
Money raised from this exhibition will be equally split between the Bursary Program of the Sudanese Australian Integrated Learning Program
and the Cultural Preservation Project of the Sudanese Online Research Association

Short film: The Eclipse(unrated, 8.5 minutes)
When Daniel asks his Iranian girlfriend, Hanna, to join him in travelling to
photograph the lunar eclipse he is faced with her disapproving Mother.
Feature: Live and Become
At the end of 1984 the Israel army airlifted 8,000 Ethiopian Jews from refugee camps in Sudan to Israel.
Live and Become tells the story of a young Christian Ethiopian boy who is passed off as an African Jew to escape his ravaged country.
Once in Israel, he is adopted by a Jewish family and renamed Schlomo.
Winner of 6 international awards, this is an emotionally searing film about culture, identity and belonging as Schlomo battles as
a Christian pretending to be a Jew, an orphan with two mothers and an African living in Western culture.
Directed by Rady Mihaileanu -
this film is a masterpiece.
Tickets $20 @ BOCS or FTI
