Maona presents: Farewell Amor18
After being separated for 17 years, an Angolan immigrant is finally reunited with his wife and teenage daughter in the US. Living together in a small one-bedroom apartment as strangers, they discover a mutual passion for dance. Tanzanian-American director Ekwa Msangi’s debut film is a heartfelt and empathetic portrayal of a family working to reconnect and heal from the long-lasting effects of conflict.
Screening presented by African cinema curator Tatenda Jamera, Maona Art.
Reviews
‘There are three sides to every story in Ekwa Msangi’s vivid and carefully observed feature debut, and so she cleverly splits the film into thirds, replaying the action but changing the vantage point with each chapter.’
★★★★
Simran Hans, The Observer
‘The performances sell it, especially from Lawson, who comes out a real shining star, not just in her obvious dancing abilities, but in how she telegraphs so much with so little.’
★★★★

Plan your visit
Our beautiful art deco inspired auditorium can be found just off East Oxford's Cowley Road.We are open 7 days a week. We open the cinema and box office 30 minutes before the scheduled start time of each film, and the Box Office then closes 10 minutes after the film starts. We only show a few adverts – less than most cinemas – and we only play a couple of trailers, so please don’t be late as the film itself starts very close to the advertised time!
