Sweet, Oily November: Amata’s Agonizingly Clunky Issue Film
Nigerian filmmaker Jeta Amata’s fourth feature Black November sports a slew of notable American faces in this collaboration between international film industries. Unfortunately, the very names drawing international attention to the project only serve to enhance the film’s blatant heavy-handedness, an angry issue film built on a foundation of cliché, presented with all the prowess of a rudimentary piece of propaganda. That’s not to say that Amat’s film isn’t well intentioned, but his meaningful message is lost in this gross manipulation of the cinematic form, which includes names that promise the likelihood of a cheesy thriller that are instead regurgitated bookends to a predictable sermon.
The CEO of Western Oil, Tom Hudson (Mickey Rourke), is held prisoner in the second street tunnel in downtown Los Angeles with notable reporter Kristy (Kim Basinger) on hand to report the abductors’ wishes.

Last month, Peter van der Lugt and I were given the chance to interview anime artist and director Yuasa Masaaki, following several festival screenings of his crowd-funded short film Kick-Heart. Saying that we are fans of his work is an understatement: we both consider him to be one of the most unique, daring and brilliant animators working today, worldwide. Whether it is his epic science fiction series Kaiba, his bizarre film Mind Game, or indeed a short like Kick-Heart, his versatility and fantastic creative force shines through. The interview was held through Skype, with Yuasa-San being in Japan with two of his co-workers present: Eunyoung Choi and Tom Hudson, who both helped with interpreting and technical details. The interview turned into a pleasant conversation covering...
