Sunset Kino – Eythar Gubara
29. 7. 26, 9 p.m.

These seven films are distinct from one another, yet they all explore themes of identity, homeland, the search for inner peace, and human rights activism. They also highlight the therapeutic potential of art by reflecting emotions through film and writing and by creating space to share experiences with others facing similar challenges—whether the loss of a homeland, the search for identity and sexuality, or the struggle against violence.

Eythar Gubara

Eythar Gubara is a Sudanese visual artist and cinematographer whose work explores resistance, identity, and human rights through photography and film. Since 2013, they have used visual storytelling as a tool for social change, blending artistic practice with activism. Their work focuses on marginalized communities—particularly women and the LGBTQI+ community—challenging oppression and amplifying silenced voices in Sudan and beyond. Since transitioning into cinematography in 2017, Gubara has documented resilience and intimacy through both still and moving images. Working closely with grassroots organizations, they see art as both a tool for justice and a space for visibility. Their practice is grounded in the belief that art can provoke dialog, inspire change, and ignite hope. Gubara’s work has been featured in six solo exhibitions in Hamburg and more than 17 group exhibitions worldwide. Their short films have screened at numerous film festivals, including the Hamburg Short Film Festival. In 2021, they participated in the Rencontres d’Arles photography festival, where they received the Madame Figaro Award.
