Tues at 730 Let's see a new African film

Let's see this radiant new film, part of VIFFs new Africa Cinema Now series.
Igbo-Australian Kalu Oji's feature film debut shows Nigerian shoe-store owner Azubuike (Okey Bakassi) endure unexpected hardships as his tween son starts living with him. It's a story of immigrant communities finding their footing in new places, how spirituality can be reshaped in such shifts & how one’s sense of purpose can come into question.

Kalu Oji is an acclaimed Igbo-Australian filmmaker, writer, and director known for exploring African-Australian identity, memory, and belonging

Tomatometer: "Layered & lovely on every level". "A radiant celebration of community in a capitalist world"

'Pasa Faho' is a play on the phrase “parts of a whole”. Trailer:

I recommend buying your tkt ahead as this is a 35 seat theatre & may sell out.

Watch the Comments section below, as if there's time/space to meet in the lobby before the film to chat, I'll post info there.

This film fits in well with the earlier film we're going to that eve, The President's Cake, as it's in the same theatre & starts shortly after.
