Cotton Queen

Kinemathek – Studiokino

© 2025 Frida Marzouk

In a Sudanese cotton-growing village, Nafisa grows up listening to her grandmother’s fairy-tale stories. When a businessman from abroad arrives with genetically modified seeds and grand development plans, she becomes a key figure in the power struggle over the village’s future and, in the process, discovers her own strength.

 

Following the screening, there will be a discussion with the Sudanese director Marwa Zein, who has gained international recognition for her documentaries and short films and works in Berlin as a director, producer and film lecturer. Together with Rabih El-Khoury, she will discuss the film, the development of Sudanese cinema, the current situation in Sudan and her own perspective as a filmmaker in Berlin.

 

Guest: Marwa Zein in conversation with Rabih El-Khoury (in English)
