"In our film, two brothers spend a rare day with their estranged father in Lagos, moving through the labyrinth of the city. It is a portrait of a country at a crossroads, but also a very insular story of a family trying to hold on to each other. We lost our father when I was two, and as long as I can remember, my brother and I have been on this journey to build a relationship with someone who is not there, using our memories. Through our film, we reflect how loss at a young age means you only have a few moments to get glimpses of the flaws, vulnerabilities, dreams, and ideas that make up the complex people we have to grieve." Akinola Davies Jr. -

Join us for the Brussels premiere of ‘My Father’s Shadow’ next Wednesday.

It is an honour to present the last film of this season :

GOODBYE JULIA
In the presence of the director, and writer Khaled Alwaleed
10/06/24 - 18h45


Synopsis ✨
Wracked by guilt after covering up a murder, Mona — a northern Sudanese retired singer in a tense marriage — tries to make amends by taking in the deceased’s southern Sudanese widow, Julia, and her son, Daniel, into her home. Unable to confess her transgressions to Julia, Mona decides to leave the past behind and adjust to a new status quo, unaware that the country’s turmoil may find its way into her home and put her face to face with her sins.

Given that this film contexualizes Sudanese politics in recent years, and as the current war rages on, we will dedicate the next few days on highlighting local organisations and accounts like , .updates that are raising awareness. Further links will be added to our bio for more information and on how you can support.
