★★★★ – Radio times


Two young brothers explore Lagos with their estranged father during the 1993 Nigerian election crisis, witnessing both the city’s magnitude and their father’s daily struggles as political unrest threatens their journey home.


The award-winning debut feature from Akinola Davies Jr., My Father's Shadow is a powerful and poetic exploration of fatherhood, identity, and memory, featuring a superb lead performance from Ṣọpẹ́ Dìrísù.


All screenings are subtitled in English.
