Your Brain on Latino Comics
Frederick Aldama
Though the field of comic book studies has burgeoned in recent years, Latino characters and creators have received little attention. Putting the spotlight on this vibrant segment, Your Brain on Latino Comics illuminates the world of superheroes Firebird, Vibe, and the new Blue Beetle while also examining the effects on readers who are challenged to envision such worlds. Twenty-one interviews with Latino comic book and comic strip authors and artists, including Laura Molina, Frank Espinosa, and Rafael Navarro.

Orfeu
This film is a new interpretation of the Orpheus myth about a musician who abandons his lover to follow the flow of the Rio de Janeiro Carnival. Orfeu is a charismatic samba composer and performer living in the Carioca Hill district of Rio de Janeiro. With a comtemporary twist, focusing on the slums of Rio where rappers and drug pushsers cohabitat, Orfeu gives a serious and sometimes disturbing look at the racial prejucices and gang violence that exists in those slums.
