Across the divides of rich and poor, Muslim and Christian, north and south, light-skinned and dark, Mona and Julia become friends. Goodbye Julia tells the story of two women who represent the complicated relationship and differences between northern and southern Sudanese communities. It takes place in Khartoum during the last years of Sudan as a united country, shortly before the 2011 separation of South Sudan.
Mona, an upper-middle-class former popular singer from the North, who lives with her husband Akram, seeks to attenuate her feelings of guilt for causing the death of a Southern man by employing Julia, his unsuspecting widow, as her maid.
It is worth noting that Goodbye Julia is the first film produced in Sudan since the revolution.

With over 2000 members the Noosa Film Society is the largest such society in Australia.
The Noosa Film Society is a registered not-for-profit organisation and was established in 1979 to encourage interest in film as an art form. At first, movies were screened at the golf club to a small group of film enthusiasts once a month. Several years later, screenings were moved to the Noosa Arts Theatre where they continued to play until the cinema in Noosa Junction was built.
Members can book at the Cinema box office or online via the Events Cinema website from 12 noon on the Thursday preceding the Film Society screening date. Members can book a maximum of two tickets in one transaction (ie one for themselves and one for a partner/friend who must also be a member).
