Khadmallah is a mother and tea vendor. Wilson and Loakin, young boys, live on the streets and are best friends. Majdi is a civil servant and likes to race pigeons with his son. Jawad is a Sufi Rastafarian resistance volunteer and rides a motorbike. Before Khartoum, they do not know each other. Likely, they pass each other on the street – once or twice – but their paths do not cross. ‘Me as an audience, really, not as a producer, as an audience,’ says Talal, ‘– for me, watching the film, watching all the footage and material [...] I feel it was important for my life, the rest of my life, because the film does not only show what I went through. The diversity of the characters showed me what I didn't go through.’ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6888db8c11555d4359ae7b01/212d208a-dd08-46a1-a658-129a64425bfe/jali+collective+day+3-65.jpg Journal - In Conversation: Khartoum - Photo credit: Uchechi (@byuchechi) Rania watches Khartoum twice: at home alone, before the event, and at the Jali Weekender, with us all. ‘I remember during the movie, many Sudanese were in the room. Many of them, they really cry, cry a lot during,’ says Rania. ‘So it is not just normal movie you can watch in cinema.’ Rania remembers Jawad’s remembering. He mentions a bus ride, shared with a girl from his college: she offered him an earphone and they listened to a song, together. Sweet with youth and possibility. He speaks with his eyes closed and a smile tugs at his lips. ‘So even now we are in a war, we are in this situation, we’re really holding our memory. We’re really holding our country in this memory, inside us,’ says Rania. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6888db8c11555d4359ae7b01/8829664a-1a2b-40d7-a1a0-c054f79e3e99/KHARTOUM_Jawad_003.jpg Journal - In Conversation: Khartoum - Make it stand out Khartoum (Anas Saeed, Rawia Alhag, Ibrahim Snoopy, Timeea M Ahmed, Phil Cox, 2025) https://www.jalicollective.co.uk/journal/discussion-the-heart-is-a-muscle monthly 0.5 2026-03-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6888db8c11555d4359ae7b01/ad5730f7-af03-4225-8e97-131903ea6b47/Copy+of+Still+2025-05-19+154233_2.610.1.jpg Journal - Discussion: The Heart is a Muscle - Make it stand out The Heart is a Muscle (Imran Hamdulay, 2025) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6888db8c11555d4359ae7b01/94696d57-27f3-4ed8-a75f-9abe4e7f02a5/Jali+Film+Festival+-+31.10.2025+by+%40alannah.jpeg-48.jpg Journal - Discussion: The Heart is a Muscle - Photo credit: Alannah Stirling (@alannah.jpeg) A conversation off stage has laid the foundations for another conversation on stage. ‘Sorry guys, if you were sitting behind us, we were talking a lot,’ says Sean and he reaches an apologetic hand to the back of the room. Their chatter is worthwhile: Sean is learning a lot from Bemz, from his thoughts on masculinity and fatherhood. Ryan is in need of conversation, too. And, the film’s turmoil presents a moment for him to speak with his two friends. A trust like that carries him through; and it carries Bemz, too. ‘I pray everyone finds that, if they don’t already have it,’ he says. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6888db8c11555d4359ae7b01/5de7bc35-28a6-4cb7-b161-c6e74cb1533c/Jali+Film+Festival+-+31.10.2025+by+%40alannah.jpeg-42.jpg Journal - Discussion: The Heart is a Muscle - Photo credit: Alannah Stirling (@alannah.jpeg) Matt’s partner has a daughter. Together, they sit and make up games. ‘I love that there’s no bounds to [her] creativity,’ he says. Then, he offers another act for joy: ‘I always go to the cinema by myself,’ and Sean raises his hand in agreement, nodding. ‘I feel like a kid again,’ Matt says. We cannot help but think of the kids of LESPRI and The Heart is a Muscle: their camcorders and plastic dinosaurs in hand. Bemz thinks of his kids, too. ‘Going on the first holiday with them [...] I’m just smiling even thinking about that,’ he says. But, there’s more: ‘I just play FIFA.’ Sean slaps him on the back, knowing and agreeing. The room shakes their heads. Mock tutting and teeth sucking, they protest. ‘Hear me out, hear me out, hear me out on this.’ When Bemz plays FIFA, he zones out. Sort through the day’s threads. Matt and Sean agree - they like their video games, too. https://www.jalicollective.co.uk/journal/centring-black-african-and-diaspora-audiences-in-scotland monthly 0.5 2026-02-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6888db8c11555d4359ae7b01/f6906295-9459-4d03-85e2-6d015bd9907b/jali+collective+day+2-39+smaller.jpg Journal - Centring Black, African and diaspora audiences in Scotland - Make it stand out Photo credit: Uchechi (@byuchechi) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6888db8c11555d4359ae7b01/38acd774-c6e3-412c-ab4c-e69f884378fb/jali+collective+day+2-37.jpeg Journal - Centring Black, African and diaspora audiences in Scotland - Photo credit: Uchechi (@byuchechi) Halina speaks again, and the child calls out, ‘Mama,’ once or twice. Halina remembers, as a child, the racism her father faced in Scotland; her brothers now live abroad and don’t wish to return to Scotland due to this racism. It’s difficult to speak about: Rhea presses her hand against Halina’s back and in this, she is held and that holding is witnessed by us all. And so, Halina, with Ica Headlam, wanted to create a collective which truly listened to and empathised with BPOC communities – We Are Here Scotland does so.
