HER DOCS FILM FESTIVAL

NINA MAMA (MOTHER-CHILD)

Recommended. It's soothing to see 21, if I counted correctly, pregnant teenagers getting help and lots of care in a health centre in Argentina. Underlying issues are sometimes severe: domestic violence, drug addiction or the lack of easy access to abortion but many are positive: even unwanted conceptions are welcome by the girls and their boyfriends. An intimate look, full of warmth. 

SISTERS WITH TRANSISTORS

Watchable. You learn lots of surprising facts about the origins of electronic music, e.g. its first sounds were inspired by air raid sirens from the Second World War. Still, just those sounds are annoying and a long way from modern techno. "Synthesize Me" accompanying end credits is about the best tune.

SEVELED (NEITHER WITH YOU)

Watchable. Engaging like every romantic comedy but silly and forgettable.
