Promotional image for My Father's Shadow. Three people are shown seated close together in an outdoor setting. A central figure wearing a purple striped shirt sits between two younger figures, one on the left in a light-coloured collared shirt and one on the right in a striped T-shirt.

Large white text overlays the centre of the image, reading: “UN CERTAIN REGARD”, “MY FATHER'S SHADOW”, and “BY AKINOLA DAVIS JR.” The image uses warm, muted tones and a close, intimate composition, emphasizing the connection between the three figures and reflecting the film's themes of family, memory and shared experience.

Black-and-white still from The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari. In the foreground, two figures stand against a backdrop of sharply angled, abstract set pieces characteristic of German Expressionist design. On the left, a figure dressed in dark clothing sits or crouches while looking toward the other figure. On the right, a figure in a light-coloured flowing gown stands with hands raised near the face. The background is filled with painted geometric shapes, distorted architectural forms and dramatic contrasts of light and shadow. The highly stylised composition creates an eerie, dreamlike atmosphere that reflects the film's themes of mystery, madness and illusion.

Each person is wrapped in a colourful sleeping bag, one in shades of red and orange and the other in bright blue, with their heads resting on camping pillows.
