Supa Modo is a 2018 internationally co-produced drama film directed by Likarion Wainaina.[1] It first premiered at 68th Berlin International Film Festival.[2] It was selected as the Kenyan entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 91st Academy Awards, but it was not nominated.[3][4]

Plot

[edit]

Jo is a young girl living in a small village in Kenya. It's her dream to become a super-hero, but unfortunately these ambitions are hindered by her impending terminal illness. As an attempt to make her desires possible the whole village is plotting a genius plan with the goal to make her wish come true.

Background

[edit]

Supa Modo was produced as part of the One Fine Day Films workshop-project, which gives African filmmakers the opportunity to learn from mentors and create their stories for an international audience.[5] The project was founded by Tom Tykwer and Marie Steinmann. Other movies resulting from said workshops include Kati Kati, Nairobi Half Life, Something Necessary and Soul Boy.[6]

Festivals

[edit]

The movie had its world premiere at the 68th Berlin International Film Festival in the category "Generations".[citation needed]
