FOOD AND A FILM - My Father's Shadow
Details
We're heading back to Bonington Cinema for our next film to enjoy a Nigerian film with some Nigerian food! Come for the Jollof rice, the BAFTA-winning movie or just to chat and cathc up- it's MY FATHER'S SHADOW.
Over the course of a single day’s journey into and around Lagos, Folarin and his young sons, Akin and Remi, reckon with their relationship while navigating a city on the precipice of democratic crisis. As details of Folarin’s life emerge, the strain in their connection becomes increasingly clear.
This has been one of my favourite films of the last few years, and it was shot by Nottingham local Jermaine Edwards! A beautifully shot film about the struggle to really understand your parents, as well as a brilliant look into the Nigerian electoral crisis of 1993.
Food starts at 6:30, with the film itself starting at 7:30. You can get your tickets from the Bonington Theatre website here - look forward to seeing you there!
