### **ABOUT THE FILM: ** *In Nigerian Pidgin, Yoruba, and English with English subtitles.* The UK’s Best International Feature Film entry to the 98th Academy Awards and recipient of the Caméra d’Or Special Mention at Cannes, Akinola Davies Jr.’s MY FATHER’S SHADOW is a poetic, tender portrait of father-son bonds. Framed by the political landscape of 1993 Lagos, the film follows a father and his two young sons as they journey into and around the vibrantly rendered Nigerian metropolis, quietly reckoning with their relationship while navigating a city on the precipice of democratic crisis. Brothers and collaborators Akinola Davies Jr. and Wale Davies bring us a groundbreaking feature debut – centering an award-winning performance by Sopé Dìrísù (SLOW HORSES, GANGS OF LONDON) – that reveals the profound depths of what families leave unspoken. FORMAT: DCP DISTRIBUTOR: MUBI COUNTRY: UK/Nigeria
