Get to Know the Filmmaker: Ibrahim Shaddad

Shaddad is veteran Sudanese filmmaker known for his avant-garde experimental style and recently starred in Talking About Trees (Suhaib Gasmelbari, 2019) about the Sudanese Film Club that has strived since 1989 to encourage and fund cinema culture, film production, screenings, and training in Sudan. 

Three of his films are free to stream:

The Camel/Jamal (1981)* is a report from the life of a camel, most of which plays out in a dreary, small room – a sesame mill. (x)

The Rope/Al Habil (1985)* documents two blind men making their way through the desert accompanied by a donkey. Connected by a rope, sometimes the two men decide the way, and sometimes the donkey leads them through the desert (x)

Human Being/Insan (1994) by Shaddad provides a dramatic and powerful account of the trials and alienation of a Sudanese villager in a large city. Shot entirely without dialogue, the film's innovative use of sound helps tell the story of a shepherd who leaves his wife and herd to settle in a nearby town. (x)

Hi! I have a question about Joe's laqab in the comics, al-Tayyib. How and when would that name be used? Would it be like a nickname, something people would call him on a day to day basis? Like "Hello, al-Tayyib, how's it going" etc.? Or is it more like "Catherine the Great" or "Charles the Bald," i.e. a name you wouldn't use when addressing the person?

Hi nonny!

                                       JOE’S NAME

Alqab aren’t exactly nicknames, not in the modern sense like, well, ‘Joe’. They’re more like adjectives/epithets/descriptive titles that are attached to the name, similar to a Roman cognomen. It wouldn’t be something you casually use but mostly as you refer to, identify or introduce someone important.

Think of it like Richard the Lionheart, Ivar the Boneless, Haroun al-Rashid (Aaron the Rightly-Guided/Just), etc. so Joe would have been referred to as Yusuf al-Tayyib - translated to Joseph the Kind - perhaps it was given to him during the Crusades for being a commander who cared for the civilians in Jerusalem?

But one-on-one he’d just be Yusuf.

It can be used as Al-Tayyib Al-Kaysani (some tend to be actually born with names like that) or Al-Tayyib Yusuf or just Al-Tayyib those all really depends on who and what he is. BUT using that title as a name tends to be if you’re someone noteworthy, culturally, religiously or politically important, a commander/king/prince/caliph/champion, or sometimes, maybe, a poet (ex. Attar, who was a pharmacist so his laqab ‘attar means ‘apothecary/perfumer’), so everyone knows who you mean when you say it. If it goes as far as replacing your name, then you have to be someone who’s really made your mark like the warrior-poet ‘Antar bin Shaddad, whose real name was apparently Maher.

Also like a cognomen, historically you refer to these figures by their laqab, like how the one that defeated Hannibal became Scipio Africanus, and it can be inherited by your descendants like Cicero / Al-Rashid. 

I feel like the name Al-Kaysani itself was originally a laqab, maybe given to his grandfather, which became a surname.

I should also mention that in a Modern AU this would not be a thing anymore. Not unless he had an ancestor who had that title attached and it became their last name instead of Al-Kaysani. A lot of current surnames did derive from an ancestor’s laqab. The term in a modern sense mostly refers to occupational terms like professors, admiral, prime minister, prince, priest, etc.

Also, in a Modern AU, he wouldn’t have his nasab either - the ‘bin/son of‘ part of his name. Since in Arabic naming conventions there are no middle names, he’d need to legally list out what’s called a tertiary or quaternary name i.e. three or four names in birth-order, so either Yusuf Ibrahim Al-Kaysani or Yusuf Ibrahim Muhammad Al-Kaysani. If he’s born abroad then he may just have his father’s name as a middle name, or even an entirely different name with that option.

If you want to still include it, you could make Al-Tayyib his mother’s surname since MENA women keep their maiden names.

Hope this helps!

Talking About Trees (Suhaib Gasmelbari, 2019)

You’re testing my hard stance disdain for cinephilia here, movie. Sudanese filmmakers from between the civil wars trying to clean up an abandoned cinema to start public screenings again. I’d much rather be able to see their original work in full rather than the short clips you get from this. They showed Ibrahim Shaddad’s A Camel before this and it was superb. But there is something to watching wisened old men who’ve had enough, knowing the futility of their goal, laughing at it, and trying anyway as all they have otherwise are memories, lost work, idle hands.
