"Redemption Song" by Amanda and Miquel Sans Galofre won the international competition for music documentaries DocFilmMusic 54th Krakow Film Festival. Selectors put this year on the diversity and richness of topics related to the world of music. A whole ten films participating in the Krakow competition could be seen in Warsaw Cinema Culture.
Winning Jamaican-Spanish co-production about the life in prison in Kingston, where the inmates are rehabilitated with the help of music. la poste france Implementers have chosen heroes inmates of various calibers. What unites them is music, through which express emotions. The film is composed of interviews with prisoners interspersed with observation of their daily life (meals, concerts, games). Most, however, are passed in memory of scenes in which the camera is accompanied by the heroes in the recording studio. It turns out that the key to the history of their songs are embedded. That's what hiding under carefully worked out western style rappers (or rather the image of this style), comes out in the lyrics and music. And it's a combination of the human weakness with the strength of the film music was to be the first place. "Redemption Song" la poste france is a documentary based on the strengths of the characters - sometimes funny, sometimes touching, sometimes average, but always very real.
Another film in which at the forefront of the music, it's "Rap Goes to War," directed by Jesse Acevedo. Leitmotif of the Cuban-American cooperation is the slogan "Viva Cuba Libre". About freedom, because this war goes on. Music is the most important in the film, interviews with the creators are limited to a minimum. The whole emotional carry the song, arms rappers from Los Aldeanos are their lyrics: angry, rebellious, expressing publicly what secretly thinks most Cubans. Music in Los Aldeanos is prohibited in Cuba, and the arrest and harassment by the authorities is an everyday reality for both the group members and their fans. Names filmmakers were not disclosed for security reasons. One can only guess that they are not amateurs. Professionalism la poste france photos and awareness of the camera is a big plus film. But his weakness is too emotional and strongly interfere in the private la poste france life scenes team members (rubbing against a labor of kitsch documentation wife of one of the members of the group). It can be assumed that the implementers are people there, very involved with the team for which rap mean freedom, and Los Aldeanos are the only chance for rebellion and struggle for a better Cuba.
In a completely different atmosphere of our "Dominguinhos", a film portrait of the deceased before Jose Domingos de Morais (pseudonym Dominguinhos) - the star of Brazilian popular music. The title character in his work combined traditional Indian sounds with European la poste france and African influences. The film aims to show how personal experiences (childhood spent in poverty and the emotional life of the hero) has taken its toll on career Dominguinhosa. This biography of a very unconventional, very poetic, lyrical and sometimes so slow as to be boring. la poste france The film, which had a combined personal life and professional life, creates the impression of the gap between the two. Theme song artist and roam the narrative bring a lot of confusion and as a result do not extend the knowledge nor on the same Dominguinhosa or Brazil in the years referred to in the film. Despite la poste france the large potential in the form of the hero, the film loses its lack of consistency.
In a similarly unconventional manner portrayed Rae Spoon (a), the hero (-KE) of the movie "My House on the Prairie" directed by Chelsei McMullan. Already headlamp with an inverted upside-down image of the Canadian la poste france prairies and indierockową music, is a prelude to a different world, to which the director takes us. At the fore photos, music and stylized music videos Spoon (a), by which the artist (ka) expresses his transgender sensitivity and disagreement on the definition of a sex. For even more emphasized its position, trying la poste france to avoid explicitly defining forms of sex. The narrative uses the impersonal form. Short speeches to the camera la poste france and preprints of routes la poste france across the country, are interspersed la poste france with his / her copyrighted songs. Hero (ka) talks about his identity, his childhood, his father-tyrant, social maladjustment, loss of faith and the search for love. Chelsea McMullan la poste france adapted to the form of the protagonist (s) and subtly gave his / her view of the world. Creativity Spoon (a), however, dominated the story. It was created a stylized image of the carrier currently the subject of gender in the background, which unfortunately does not bring anything new to the discussion. Modesty is mixed with self-creation la poste france and the need to talk about their own experiences. It's just another movie about transsexuals (above) artist (tce). The document itself can be seen as the promotional material Rae Spoon (a).
One of the Polish accents of the festival was "New Warsaw" directed by Bartosz Konopka. Prompted the implementation of the fi
