it's your ride
a short film by Daniel Leeb (Cinecycle Productions) with Alfred Bobe Jr.. and Fatimah Durkee ... an artistic image of two cyclists on a lonely ride in town. Man, I'm so emo today 
Carts of Darkness
years old I spent in Vancouver. called dangerous streets were so bad: sympathetic beggars and some interesting shops. We regret that the filmmaker Murray Siple followed homeless who have not met. North Vancouver's community, some people the thrill of the steal exchanged for shopping cart racing. a very interesting documentary about this group of people that goes beyond poverty, homelessness ... a picture of their everyday lives without stereotypes.
hiphop reportage from the old box
Big Fun in the Big Town, a classic documentary about the early years of hip-hop: Grandmaster Flash, Harry Truman High School, Doug E. Fresh, Roxanne Shante, Bizmarkie, DMC, LL Cool J & Suliaman El Hadi (Last Poets).

new beat
a nice report on the Belgian New Beat. New Beat in the eighties very popular, but is concealed or looked down upon by mainstream media. note especially the young Hautekiet - who just make a serious blunder - and the back of Sven Van Hees.
