Join us for a unique screening of My Father’s Shadow, the directorial debut from filmmaker Akinola Davies Jr.. The film will be brought to life with live music and sound, performed by the creators of the original film score, CJ Mirra and Duval Timothy, joined by special guests.
The semi-autobiographical film tells a story about family, memory and the relationships that shape us. It is set over the course of a single day in Nigeria during the 1993 election crisis. It follows a father, Fola, who estranged from his two young sons, Remi and Akin. They travel through Lagos while political unrest threatens their journey home.
Set in Tate Modern’s South Tank, the score will be performed live alongside the film. Expect a a powerful shared experience between the audience, the performers and the screen.
