Film Forum Presents - A podcast by Film Forum

Categories:

In this two-part episode devoted to EYIMOFE (THIS IS MY DESIRE): a Q&A from our July 23rd opening night screening with co-director Arie Esiri and producer Melissa Adeyemo, moderated by premieres programmer Mike Maggiore; and a specially-recorded conversation between Arie, his twin brother (co-director and screenwriter) Chuko Esiri, and Film Forum outreach intern Malchijah Hoskins. EYIMOFE, the Esiri Brothers’ powerful debut feature, is a portrait of life in their native Lagos, Nigeria through the stories of two aspirational individuals navigating the vast, vibrant, and often unforgiving city. The film is now playing at Film Forum, including special screenings of a brand new 35mm print, sponsored by Blacktag and Kodak. Please check www.filmforum.org for the showtime schedule and tickets.
