SBIFF Opening Night Film – Disney’s MADU
February 7 @ 8:00 pm - 10:00 pm PST
SBIFF 2024 will kick off on Opening Night Wednesday, February 7 with the World Premiere of the Disney Branded Television documentary MADU directed by Matt Ogens and Joel ‘Kachi Benson. Both directors will be joining us in-person.
From practicing barefoot on the streets of Lagos to performing on stage in England, twelve-year-old Anthony Madu leaves his home in Nigeria to study at one of the most prestigious ballet schools in the world. Anthony, who had barely left his neighborhood in Lagos, finds himself thrust into a new world where his wildest dream is suddenly within reach. His journey is a story of extraordinary obstacles, courage, growth, and ultimately, his search for belonging.
Tickets available now at sbiff.org.
