The Museum of Modern Art’s film series Best Film Not Playing in a Theater Near You this weekend includes director Lanre Olabisi’s debut feature film August the Fifth, about Nigerian immigrant life in New Jersey:

A powerful drama in which old tensions resurface—and a family is torn apart—when a son invites his estranged father in Nigeria back to the United States for his graduation party. First-time feature director Olabisi, who shot August the First almost entirely in his mother’s suburban home, is remarkably attuned to the language and behavior of middle-class American life.

For more on the film, which did well on the festival circuit (including Urbanword and the San Francisco Black Flm Festival), see the film’s website and a review here.

It is still playing on Sunday at MoMA.
