Unclassified 15+ | 86 Mins | Q&A Screening | 2025 | DCP | AUS | D: Kalu Oji

Popular stand-up comedian and actor Okey Bakassi stars as an Igbo shoe seller caught in a cross-cultural crisis, as he fights to save his shop and be a father to his estranged 12-year-old son, Obinna (Tyson Palmer).

This tender and beautiful film tells a quintessentially Australian story exploring identity, family, and the meaning of home.

‘In Pasa Faho, Kalu Oji’s feature film debut about a complex relationship between a Nigerian immigrant and his Australian-born son, we see that Melbourne far less-seen on screen – but one that rings more true than most movies about this beautiful, multicultural urban sprawl.’ – ScreenHub
