Gadalla Gubara

Known for: Directing
Birthplace: Sudan

Gadalla Gubara (1921–2008) was a Sudanese cameraman, film producer, director and photographer. Over five decades, he produced more than 50 documentaries and three feature films. He was a pioneer of African cinema, having been co-founder of both the Pan-African Federation of Filmmakers FEPACI and the FESPACO Film festival (Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso). Gadalla Gubara's "oeuvre spans feature films, reports, educational documentaries, advertising films and home movies. He documented Sudan’s political and social developments for over 50 years, from independence in 1956 via the phase of socialist government and its policy of modernization all the way through to the proclamation of the Islamic laws in 1983, equally capturing the obvious deterioration in conditions for filmmaking that went hand in hand with this development."
