The film stages a passage between Sudan and Britain as a disorienting encounter with race, class, and cultural hierarchy. Through poetic abstraction and measured contrast, Shariffe renders displacement as a lived structure of feeling, at once intimate and geopolitical. Memory, language, and longing circulate through the work as counterforces to alienation, while the North-South divide is registered in everyday gestures and atmospheres rather than overt didacticism. Tigers Are Better Looking remains a key articulation of diasporic consciousness in the history of Sudanese moving image.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span class=\"ffm-excerpt-screenings\">&gt; Monday 27.4.2026 | 18:30 | silent green Kulturquartier<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":14,"featured_media":9186,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","categories":[262,288,260],"tags":[],"nor-film_cat":[],"class_list":["post-9188","nor-film","type-nor-film","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-monday-27-april","category-silent-green-kulturquartier","category-spotlight"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/alfilm.berlin\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/nor-film\/9188","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/alfilm.berlin\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/nor-film"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/alfilm.berlin\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/nor-film"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alfilm.berlin\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/14"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alfilm.berlin\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9188"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alfilm.berlin\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9186"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/alfilm.berlin\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9188"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alfilm.berlin\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9188"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alfilm.berlin\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9188"},{"taxonomy":"nor-film_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alfilm.berlin\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/nor-film_cat?post=9188"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
