Every Saturday from 14 April to 19 May, the historical District Six Museum, Cape Town, presents a hip-hop film festival grown from the grass roots up. The film festival will continue in the tradition of the old District Six bioscopes, meaning that audience participation is expected and fish and chips is freely allowed in the cinema.
The movies, the majority produced and directed by young filmmakers, will showcase the art of hip-hop: looking at the various musical influences that have shaped this Cape Town musical sound. From the legendary Prophets of Da City, Black Noise and Mr Devious, to the sounds of the goema beat, to the unheralded jazz siren Sathima Bea Benjamin – each film reveals another piece of the puzzle; connecting Cape Town’s hip-hop movement to proud traditions of black consciousness, political activism and community empowerment in a contemporary setting.
April
14 – Lost Prophets (Sean Drummond and Dylan Valley)
21 – Mama Goema (Ángela Ramírez, Sara Gouveia, Calum MacNaughton)
28 – Maak It Aan! (Nadine Cloete)/ From B-Boys to Being Men (Tanswell Jansen, Heal The Hood)
May
5 – Mr Devious (John Fredericks)
12 – Afrikaaps (Dylan Valley)
19 – Sathima’s Windsong (Daniel Yon)
The movies will be screened at the District Six Museum at 25A Buitenkant Street. Viewings will start at 3pm, but performances, exhibitions and networking will take place from 2pm onwards.
There will be a Q&A session with directors after each screening.
Tickets cost: R20p/p
