Supergal(es)

Superheroes play a leading role in many contemporary films, and Latin American animated films are not left out of this. This is evident in La Súper, the colorful first feature-length film by veteran Cuban animation filmmaker Ernesto Piña. Yudeisi is a young woman whose fight for justice makes her the chosen one for a series of superpowers. These do not come from technology or experiments, but from an aboriginal warrior who freed the inhabitants of her village 500 years ago and whose spirit resurfaces to fight for good. Yudeisi as a new defender uses her qualities to defend women from male violence.

A(ja)

Roughly chronological, from 3/96 to 11/96, with a coda in spring of 1997: inside compounds of Aum Shinrikyo, a Buddhist sect led by Shoko Asahara. (Members confessed to a murderous sarin attack in the Tokyo subway in 1995.) We see what they eat, where they sleep, and how they respond to media scrutiny, on-going trials, the shrinking of their fortunes, and the criticism of society. Central focus is placed on Hiroshi Araki, a young man who finds himself elevated to chief spokesman for Aum after its leaders are arrested. Araki faces extreme hostility from the Japanese public, who find it hard to believe that most followers of the cult had no idea of the attacks and even harder to understand why these followers remain devoted to the religion, if not the violence.
