Hussein Shariffe was a prominent Sudanese filmmaker, painter, poet, and university lecturer at the University of Khartoum. After completing his education in Khartoum and Alexandria, Egypt, he went on to study modern history and fine arts in England, where he held his first exhibition at London’s Gallery One in 1957. Upon returning to Sudan in the 1970s, he contributed his expertise to both the Ministry of Culture and the Faculty of Arts at the University of Khartoum. In 1973, Shariffe began a new artistic venture in filmmaking, creating a series of documentary films and cinematographic essays that explored themes such as Sudanese traditions and history.
