Cinema of South Sudan
In Juba, as in other parts of the country, mobile cinema shows were announced by loudspeakers on the roof of a Landcruiser driving around town.Audiences sat in front of a white piece of cloth, presenting a programme of American comedies and Westerns, short documentaries made by the mobile Sudanese filmmaking unit for a Sudanese public, and feature films made in India, Kenya, and Britain.[2] South Sudan gained independence in 2011;[3] six years after the conclusion of the Second Sudanese Civil War which led to the closure of Juba's only cinema.Those who are experts face the challenge of accessing good equipment and tools and are affected by the lack of support and encouragement from its citizens".[7][8] The festival included a film industry conference, and the second scheduled to be held in South Sudan.
