Film Screening: HARRY BELAFONTE: SING YOUR SONG @ Toronto Underground Theatre, Toronto, ON - Fri May 25th!

Undercurrents and Fusicology present the Toronto Premiere of
Harry Belafonte: Sing Your Song

Wonderfully archived, and told with a remarkable sense of intimacy, visual style, and musical panache, Susanne Rostock’s inspiring biographical documentary, SING YOUR SONG, surveys the life and times of singer/actor/activist Harry Belafonte.
From his rise to fame as a singer, inspired by Paul Robeson, and his experiences touring a segregated country, to his provocative crossover into Hollywood, Belafonte’s groundbreaking career personifies the American civil rights movement and impacted many other social justice movements. Rostock reveals Belafonte as a tenacious hands- on activist, who worked intimately with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., mobilized celebrities for social justice, participated in the struggle against apartheid in South Africa, and took action to counter gang violence, prisons, and the incarceration of youth.

"It is a quiet, beautiful song of protest from a man who is still trying to change the world."
-Yahoo Movies
"a powerful and touching documentary"
-Interview

"Moving and enlightening"
-Variety

"a man whose story should be told for generations to come"
-Robert Redford

The Cypher @ Augusta House, Toronto, ON - Wed May 23rd!

Are you a Hip Hop Head?

If you answered YES, you've probably engaged and taken sides in this debate on more than one occasion: Who's the iller emcee, NAS or JAY-Z?!

In one of the most prolific and lyrically intense beefs in hip hop history, the two legendary New York emcees went at it on the radio, in guest spots, on record, overtly and subliminally. Jigga's mom even had to get involved.

In 2005 they re-united (ironically at Jay's "I DECLARE WAR" concert) and have since appeared on the same track a number of times.

But on Wednesday, May 23rd, we're bringin' it BACK to 2001, The Cypher style!

DJ Xplisit will be playing classic songs from such classic albums as Illmatic, Reasonable Doubt, The Blueprint, Stillmatic, God's Son, The Black Album, In My Lifetime, It Was Written, and Nastradamus. Okay, maybe not that last one.

To add to the pot, we're having our LYRICIST COMPETITION, where emcees bring their best 16's over Jay & Nas instrumentals. $10 to enter, winner takes all.

As for The Cypher segment, ALL EMCEES GET MIC TIME! So come through and rock at Toronto's only organic hip hop open mic!

ALSO, don't forget to grab your tickets for the upcoming Stalley show, featuring a performance by The Cypher!

Film Screening: MARLEY @ The Bloor Cinema, Toronto, ON - Fri May 18th - Thurs May 31st!

Marley

144 minutes — PG, Kevin Macdonald, United States, 2012

Distributed by Entertainment One

Featuring: Bob Marley, Ziggy Marley and Jimmy Cliff

Official Selection, Hot Docs 2012

“[A] generous, absorbing, family authorized docu on the late, still-reigning king of reggae music.” – Variety

Oscar winner Kevin Macdonald (The Last King of Scotland, One Day in September) delivers the long-awaited authorized biography of reggae legend Bob Marley. The icon is remembered on a most personal level through affectionate first-hand accounts from his family and inner circle as a father, a lover, a rabid football fan and a revolutionary, but most importantly, as a passionate and dedicated musician. Macdonald fully immerses us in the larger-than-life singer’s history through beautiful scenes shot on location in Nine Mile and Trenchtown, rare archival interviews and enough concert footage to satisfy even the most devoted fans. Marley is a film that understands why Bob Marley’s influence still resonates with such strength today. Lynne Crocker, Hot Docs

Co-presented with Jamaica50 and Manifesto Community Projects.
