Beats of the Antonov is a documentary film released in 2014. It is aSudanese-South Africancoproduction, directed by SudanesefilmmakerHajooj Kuka and produced byHajooj Kuka andSteven Markovitz. The film documents theSudan–SRF conflict in theBlue Nile andNuba Mountains regions, focusing in particular on the role of music in helping the affected communities to sustain themselves culturally and spiritually in the face of the ongoing conflict.[1]

This documentary, that "put Sudan's name on the screen of world cinema",[2] was made over a period of two years, withfilm directorHajooj Kuka residing among the people of the Nuba Mountains in Southern Sudan.[3]

Premise

[edit]

Thepremise ofBeats of the Antonov is that the core reason for thecivil war in Sudan is an identity issue. Over many years, the centralgovernment in Sudan has enforced an Arab-Islamic identity on the other 56 major ethnic groups of Sudan. However, in reality Sudan has a diverse population with multi-cultural backgrounds. Through the documentary,Hajooj Kuka depicts the resilience of the people of the Blue Nile and Nuba Mountains areas of Sudan through life-celebrating music and dance, despite their daily struggle to survive in a war-torn society.[4]
