The film, which is Sudanese director Mohamed Kordofani’s feature debut, marks the first feature from Sudan to bow from the Croisette and takes place just before the 2011 secession of South Sudan. In “Goodbye Julia,” two women — one from the North, the other from the South — are brought together by fate in a complex relationship that attempts to reconcile differences between northern and southern Sudanese communities.
“Goodbye Julia” is produced by Amjad Abu Alala, director of “You Will Die at Twenty,” which won Venice Film Festival’s Lion of the Future award for best first feature in 2019. “We were extremely moved by the beauty, intensity, narrative power and the emotion rising from this debut film, which positions Sudan on the map of world cinema,” commented Michèle and Laurent Halberstadt of ARP in a statement. “We are also proud to start a new collaboration with MAD Solutions, one of the leading distribution and sales agent companies in the Middle East,” they added.
