Kasim Abid, one of the founders of the school, showed his film, LIFE AFTER THE FALL, in a film festival in Khartoum in Sudan and, at the same time also screened IFTVC student films and talked about the school and the thinking behind the project. 

He was approached by the director of the German cultural organisation in Khartoum, the Goethe Institute, and asked if we would consider running a one-off documentary course for them, on the same lines as the courses we run in Baghdad.  We agreed.  The institute acquired the equipment and found the students and the course began in late January 2010.  In the end, there should be 5 or 6 films produced by the students on that course.
