Ibrahim Omar

While making his graduation film in Cairo, Omar Ibrahim learns that his home country, Sudan, is being shaken by revolution. In the film’s fictional story, a family is unable to bury their deceased child – a theme that strangely echoes the sense of powerlessness experienced by the filmmaker who, in Nothing Happens After the Revolution, reflects on exile.

Short film selected for the Cannes Film Festival Directors’ Fortnight Lineup.

In a desperate attempt to find a final resting place for their only child, Thomas is surprised to discover that today is not the right day.
