“My Father’s Shadow” - Interview with Film Director / Co-writer Akinola Davies Jr.

Season 5 · Episode 3

Sunday, February 22, 2026 • Duration 15:50

Akinola Davies Jr. premiered his debut feature film My Father’s Shadow last year at Cannes, making it the first Nigerian film to be a part of the festival’s Official Selection. Since then, the moving father-son drama has gone on to earn rave reviews and even the possibility of a BAFTA win for Davies. But the overwhelming success is rooted in a personal story from 1993-era Nigeria, one penned by his own brother. Talking to Borrowing Tape, Davies breaks down his tender and intimate debut, capturing the city of Lagos on 16mm film, and representing Nigerian cinema on a global stage.

“Chaperone” - Interview with Film Writer / Director Zoe Eisenberg

Season 5 · Episode 2

Thursday, February 12, 2026 • Duration 11:51

In Chaperone, director Zoe Eisenmberg makes it quite easy for her audience to sympathize with her protagonist, Misha. Misha is a struggling 29-year-old who can’t seem to figure out where she fits. She lacks ambition in her professional and personal life and faces constant judgment and double standards from the people closest to her. However, just as we begin to put ourselves in her shoes, she makes a drastic choice. She meets a charismatic teenage boy and, rather than disclose her real age, allows him to believe she is his age, sparking a romance. At times funny, tragic, and uncomfortable, director Zoe Eisenberg’s debut film asks big questions of her characters and audiences. Eisenberg, the innovative writer-director behind this Hawaii-set drama, sat down with Borrowing Tape to discuss complex characters, May-December romances, and tragedy.

Streaming on Prime Video. Available on VOD and digital.
