Akinola Davies Jr in The Director’s Chair
We sat down with Akinola Davies Jr, who made history as the director of the first Nigerian film to be selected for the Cannes Official Selection, earning a Special Mention for the prestigious Caméra d’Or for Best First Feature. His debut, My Father’s Shadow, is a bold and poetic autobiographical drama set over a single, heady day in Lagos, where two brothers begin to confront the legacy of their estranged father.
The Director’s Chair, presented by MUBI, is a six-part interview series with the world’s top filmmakers.
