Kenya has set apart Saturday, October 24th and Monday October 26th 2026 for the screening of the Oscar nominated 2026 film ‘ My Father’s Shadow’ directed by Akinola Davies as part of the continental film initiative by the Film Africa Network ( FAN), a partnership between the Pan African Writers Association (PAWA) and Driving Park Limited.
In a release by the FAN’s Representative in
Kenya, Bonface Lukunza, the event will take place at the Kenyatta University on 24th October and at the Kenya Cultural Centre in Nairobi on 26th October 2026.
‘My Father’s Shadow’ which won the Camera d’Or Special Mention at Cannes, is a stunning, lyrical, emotionally resonant story set in 1993 Lagos.
The pilot Pan African Film screening programme by FAN represents the beginning of a long-term continental programme which will evolve into a permanent Pan-African platform for the exhibition and promotion of African cinema.
FAN appreciates the support and commitment from donor agencies and stakeholders in the film industry for this historic initiative towards building a truly Pan-African platform for African cinema.
The dates for Film screenings in other selected African countries will be announced in due course.
