KAPU FILMFESTIVAL #3 "FROM NEW YORK TO DAKAR" TAG 3
15:00h THE UPSETTER - The Life and Music of Le Scratch Perry (R: Ethan Higbee, 90 min, USA 2008)
The film begins in rural Jamaica, probing into Perry's mysterious youth as well as the notorious events of his peak production years in Kingston, in which Scratch mentored a young Bob Marley, created the sound of Reggae as we now know it, pioneered a new genre of music he called Dub, invented what was to become the remix and produced international hit songs for artists from Junior Murvin to The Congos to Paul McCartney to The Clash.

16:45h CALYPSO ROSE - Tthe Lioness of the Jungle (R: Pascale Obolo, 52min, Trinidad & Tobago 2011)
Calypso Rose is an ambassador of Caribbean music, a living legend, the uncontested diva of Calypso Music. Paris, New York, Trinidad & Tobago to Africa - in each place, we learn a little more about the many faces and facets of her existence. This road movie is not only about memory, the exchange and discovery of world cultures but also the journey of a militant and authentic woman, an Afro-Caribbean soul.

18:00h THE STORY OF LOVERS ROCK (R: Menelik Shabazz, 96 min, UK 2011)
Lovers Rock, often dubbed ‘romantic reggae’ is a uniquely black British sound that developed in the late 70s and 80s against a backdrop of riots, racial tension and sound systems. Lovers Rock allowed young people to experience intimacy and healing through dance. This dance provided a coping mechanism for what was happening on the streets. Lovers Rock developed into a successful sound with national UK hits and was influential to British bands like Police, Culture Club, UB40.

Publikunsgespräch nach Film mit MENELIK SHABAZZ via Skype !!!
20:30h HIT ME WITH MUSIC (R: Miquel Galofré, 74 min, Jamaica 2011)
«One good thing about music; when it hits you, you feel no pain». This long-term production is a portrait of star musicians and dancers such as Yellowman, Mavado, Kartel, Bogle, Elephantman, Chi Chic Hing and many more. Jamaica has much more to offer than Bob Marley, poverty and gang wars. The only ones not recognising this fact are the tourists, confined to their beach hotel, enjoying sun and sea.
