Sexy Intellectuals presents: My Father’s Shadow (2025)

Welcome to Sexy Intellectuals ~ a monthly film practice that builds intimacy through attention. We're a watch-first, gather-later format. Everyone watches the film in their own time before we meet. Then, through guided activities built around its themes, the night becomes as much about us as it is about the film. You never have to share more than you want to. Our current film cycle, Watching Closely, explores people, perspectives, memory and the little things we miss when we look away too quickly. For the third and final installment, we're watching My Father’s Shadow (2025), a film about childhood, memory and how quickly the people we love can slip out of reach. It’s streaming on MUBI (7-day free trial), or you can rent it on Prime Video or YouTube. Before you watch, take a look at the Watch Brief. It'll give you a sense of what to pay attention to without spoiling anything. → Watch Brief here And if you don't manage to watch the film, come anyway. You'll still be able to participate :) Join us for a night where there's room to feel held, get curious and be gently challenged. Doors open at 6pm. We start strictly at 6:30pm, so don't be late, diva.
