A musical exploration shedding new light on the Sudanese conflict. IDFA Homepage. IDFA Nederlands English. Documentaries Collection Watch films online. Docschool Online. Talking About Trees. Today, the theatres stand empty and derelict. Ibrahim Shaddad chairman of the Sudan Film Group , Eltayeb Mahdi, Suliman Mohamed Ibrahim and Manar Al Hilo are not only fighting to save the film reels that have suffered from the years of neglect, they are also trying to recover their own works. In Sudan reigned by the dictator who stays in power due to good relationships to the United States, culture is under censorship and films are no exception — they need to comply to moral laws of the state, preferably not gathering a crowd to watch them.
'Talking About Trees': Raising hope by reviving cinema - Daily Sabah
For this and reasons related to many an armed conflict, the theatres that once upon the time showed the films from all over the world, have abruptly died. Once bursting with life, they became abandoned and derelict, waiting to be turned into huge wedding venues and shopping malls.

That same year, Ian Baldwin and Jack Schultz from Dartmouth University found that seedlings of poplar and sugar maple began pumping out anti-herbivore phenols when placed in a growth chamber next to saplings with shredded leaves.
They described it as plant communication. That reception made many scientists nervous.
The film claimed that science had proven that plants were conscious and could sense human emotions. Then, in , both talking tree papers were picked apart by the eminent ecologist John Lawton who was later knighted.

His criticism nearly stopped the research dead in its tracks. People stopped talking about plant communication; the field went dark. Among the renitent was Ted Farmer, then a postdoc in the Washington State University lab of renowned plant hormone expert Clarence Ryan. Farmer and Ryan worked with local sagebrush, which produce copious amounts of methyl jasmonate, an airborne organic chemical that Ryan thought plants were using to ward off insect herbivores.
In their experiment, when damaged sagebrush leaves were put into airtight jars with potted tomato plants, the tomatoes began producing proteinase inhibitors — compounds that harm insects by disrupting their digestion. When sagebrush is damaged by grasshoppers and other pests, it releases chemicals that seem to warn neighboring plants of danger. But he still had his doubts. Does this really happen among wild plants, or is it an unusual phenomenon induced by lab conditions? Karban had just started work at a field station in a part of northern California that was thick with sagebrush and wild tobacco, a tomato cousin.
When he clipped sagebrush plants, imitating the injuries caused by the sharp teeth of insects and inducing the plants to produce methyl jasmonate and other airborne chemicals, the wild tobacco nearby started pumping out the defensive enzyme polyphenol oxidase. This seemed to have real consequences. At the end of the season, these tobacco plants had much less leaf damage than others from grasshoppers and cutworms.
During the next decade, evidence grew.

For example, the smell of cut grass — a blend of alcohols, aldehydes, ketones and esters — may be pleasant to us but to plants signals danger on the way. Heil has found that when wild-growing lima beans are exposed to volatiles from other lima bean plants being eaten by beetles, they grow faster and resist attack.

Compounds released from damaged plants prime the defenses of corn seedlings , so that they later mount a more effective counterattack against beet armyworms. These signals seem to be a universal language: sagebrush induces responses in tobacco; chili peppers and lima beans respond to cucumber emissions, too. Plants can communicate with insects as well, sending airborne messages that act as distress signals to predatory insects that kill herbivores.
The emerging picture is that plant-eating bugs, and the insects that feed on them, live in a world we can barely imagine, perfumed by clouds of chemicals rich in information. Ants, microbes, moths, even hummingbirds and tortoises Farmer checked all detect and react to these blasts. Despite the growing evidence that plants are capable of communication, many plant scientists still question whether this cross talk is biologically meaningful.
