Hind Meddeb’s documentary draws on her on-the-spot experience in 2019 as protesters rose against the 30-year rule of Omar al-BashirFranco-Tunisian-Moroccan film-maker Hind Meddeb is based in Paris but it was her on-the-spot experience in Khartoum in 2019 of the Sudanese uprising against the reactionary 30-year rule of president Omar al-Bashir which has led to this intensely engaged and sympathetic documentary study. The film immerses itself in the world of the protesters – particularly the young and female protesters – a whole generation energised and brought together by the insurgent movement; their passion was complicated and intensified by the fact that the revolution, at least at first, only brought in a “Transitional Military Council” or TMC, which did not seem in any great hurry to transition to democratic civilian rule. In fact, it carried out a grotesque massacre against people at a sit-in in June 2019, resulting in 127 people dead and 70 cases of rape.Meddeb finds among the...

2 h. ago ‘We have a high appetite for risk’: inside King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard’s historic EU tour

Residencies in storied venues from a panopticon prison to an ancient amphitheatre gave an appropriate backdrop to the Australian band’s existential new record‘It’s always good to make yourself feel small,” says Stu Mackenzie. We’re sitting behind the stage of the Ancient theatre in Plovdiv, Bulgaria, after the second night of his band King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard’s three shows there. The marble-hewn amphitheatre was built between 98-117AD. We’re flanked by columns bearing ancient Greek inscriptions from back when this place was called Philippopolis; the precipitous drop behind us reveals the east side of Europe’s longest continually inhabited city, the glowing cross of the Cathedral of St Louis and the shadow of the hills in the distance.In front of the stage where the Australian experimental rock band have just spent two hours wilding out is an arena where man and beast used to do battle in front of a far more bloodthirsty crowd than the one that just drank the venue dry of b...

5 h. ago Leaving my family in Iran was a pain I can’t describe. But beneath the fear lies a determination to endure | Mohammad Azimi

As an Australian Iranian I feel caught between two worldviews – but experiencing this conflict first-hand has shown me the quiet strength of a society under attackI travelled to Iran from Australia to visit my ageing parents and reconnect with my roots. What was meant to be a short family visit took a dramatic turn with the outbreak of a sudden and unprovoked war imposed on Iran. I was in Kurdistan on a short sightseeing trip when the first Israeli attack occurred. The news struck like a shock wave, followed by a heavy, ominous silence – the kind that signals something far worse may be unfolding. With airspace closed and internet access severely restricted, I found myself all but stranded.Yesterday, I crossed into Turkey through the Sero-Esendere border in West Azerbaijan province in Iran – a less crowded route which I chose after a painful but deliberate decision. I am now preparing to return to Australia to be reunited with my wife and children. Continue reading...
