Last Son to screen at Akron Film Fest



A special screening of the Superman documentary "Last Son" by Cleveland filmmaker Brad Ricca (also a member of the Siegel & Shuster Society)will be shown at 10pm this Friday, April 3rd during the Akron, Ohio Film Festival.

"Last Son" is a Depression-era, coming-of-age story that explains Superman's historical, social and cultural significance by tracing his beginnings and the society in which he was created.

"Think about it: Why does the hero wear a skin-tight costume with underwear on the outside?" Ricca poses. "With boots? And a spit curl? And an 'S' on the chest?"

Ricca said his documentary answers those questions and the deeper one: Why was Superman created at all? Did that creation come from a single flash of inspiration as generally reported or was the creation more subtle?

For details or to sign up for the workshops, go to HERE.
Cincinnati Playhouse to Premier Jerry Siegel Play next year!


By David Bar Katz
April 3 – May 2, 2010

Superman - the man of steeI – is invulnerable. Jerry Siegel - the creator of Superman – was far more vulnerable. Siegel was one of a number of Jews who created the cartoon superheroes of the 1930s and 40s in response to the rise of Nazi Germany. Siegel’s own tumultuous story intertwines with the tragic events of a world on the edge, a place where even Superman has his limits. A remarkable new play about fantasy and the reality of the 20th century.
