THE FURIOUS FORCE OF RHYMES (2010)
Dir: Joshua Atesh Litle
84 min.
United States / France
From phrase to sentence to verse to rhyme to the evolution of hip hop, the languageborn in the Bronxof the MCs that guides breakdancers and graffiti artists. But a smooth voice and a dope beat don't create a movement. The frustration of the poor, the powerless, and the politically forgotten who demand to be heard are the building blocks of hip hop. These are also the commonalities of Paris's vibrant immigrant population, East German malcontents, a feminist Senegalese rap trio, and the Jews and Arabs who come together on stage in the West Bank in Bay Area-native Joshua Atesh Litle's fierce and ferocious new documentary.
11:00 pm
PUNK FUNK MOB & OAKLAND FADERS perform to an all star projectionist jam by The Illuminated Corridor Department of Public Works.
