My Father's Shadow

Hi all,
I’ve never seen a Nigerian film before, so I’m jumping at the opportunity to see one now.

Please join me for My Father’s Shadow this Sunday, February 8th at 4.10pm.

Against the backdrop of the 1993 Nigerian election crisis, two young brothers, Akin and Remi, accompany their estranged father, Folarin (Ṣọpẹ́ Dìrísù), on a journey through the sprawling metropolis of Lagos as he tries to reclaim unpaid wages while all around them political tensions threaten to reach boiling point.

Unfolding over the course of a single day, Akinola Davies Jr’s extraordinary, semi-autobiographical debut feature explores family bonds, identity, memory, and fatherhood.

Screening is taking place in Cinema 2.I’m in F8. It’s best to be safe than sorry and book in advance.
I’ll be in the foyer from 3.45pm with my purple baseball hat.
See you all there,
Martin
