Yard! Dub and Reggae on Film @ ACMI
November 25, 2009 12:54
Fri 22 Jan - Sun 31 Jan
Curated by Richard Sowada, Lisa Palermo and Kate Welsman.
Take a filmic and musical journey through the heart and soul of sunny Jamaica this summer when the Australian Centre for the Moving Image (ACMI) presents an incredible selection of new and classic films exploring dub and reggae on film.
ACMI will treat Melbourne to a smorgasbord of rhythm and grooves with Yard! Dub and Reggae on Film. From the Australian premiere of Rocksteady: The Roots of Reggae (2009) to the Franco Rosso underground classic Babylon (1980), the entire program is drenched with the smooth and soulful sounds of Lee Scratch Perry, Burning Spear, Duke Vin, Hopeton Lewis and Peter Tosh.
"Politics and music are a big part of our film programs overall, so when opportunities arise for us to explore both at one time it is difficult to resist." says ACMI Head of Film Programs Richard Sowada. "The enormous global impact of Reggae, the roots of social justice and struggle in the sound, the characters that inhabit it, the powerful aesthetic and the deep experimentation is quite inspiring - and the music...well it just soars."
Yard! Dub and Reggae on Film runs from Friday 22 January - Sunday 31 October at ACMI. Visit www.acmi.net.au for more information on the season.
