After Hours Film Society Presents My Father’s Shadow
Event Details
My Father’s Shadow is a 2025 British‑Nigerian drama following two young brothers who spend a single transformative day with their estranged father during the tense 1993 Nigerian presidential election. As they travel from their rural village to Lagos, they witness political unrest, their father’s struggles, and moments of joy that reveal the fragile bonds of family.
Organist David Rhodes and the Mighty Wurlitzer preshow concerts welcome attendees as they arrive. The organ lights up 30 minutes before the screening, so come early and enjoy the music!
