Two films capture the volatile climate with race relations in Great Britain during the mid-Seventies into the early Eighties: Franco Rosso’s 1980 feature Babylon, starring Brinsley Forde with a score by Dennis Bovell, and Rubika Shah's ever more urgent White Riot (2019 London documentary winner). The latter focuses on the evolution of Rock Against Racism in 1976, which led to the 1978 Victoria Park concert, featuring Steel Pulse, The Clash, Tom Robinson, Jimmy Pursey of Sham 69, and Poly Styrene of X-Ray Spex.
Steve McQueen’s Mangrove, co-written with Alastair Siddons, starring Shaun Parkes, Letitia Wright, and Malachi Kirby, and shot by Shabier Kirchner, is neither of the period, nor a documentary, (as are the respective films mentioned above) and yet, it manages to convey a vivid sense of time, place, and community, plus the critical...

The film is based on Shah’s short White Riot: London that premiered at Sundance 2017.
Ryan Kampe’s New York-based Visit Films has added writer-director Rubika Shah’s documentary White Riot to its Efm slate.
The film is based on Shah’s short White Riot: London that premiered at Sundance 2017 and went on to screen at Berlin, Tel Aviv and Sheffield Doc/Fest, among others.
White Riot explores how punk influenced politics in late-1970s Britain, a time of deep social unrest. The film follows three artists and fanzine creators who fought the neo-Nazi National Front, and overcame death threats, physical attacks and police brutality to create the British civil rights movement Rock Against Racism.
The documentary features interviews and previously unseen archive footage of performers like The Clash, The Specials, Tom Robinson, Bob Geldof, Joy Division, Elvis Costello, Pete Townshend, Buzzcocks and Steel Pulse.

Documentary film-maker and political activist best known for Blacks Britannica and Occupied Palestine
The Oscar-nominated documentary-maker and political activist David Koff, who has died aged 74, was remarkable in that his work made waves on four continents. Best known in Britain for his film Blacks Britannica (1978), which portrayed the UK as a profoundly racist society, he also caused controversy with his trilogy about colonialism and its after-effects in Africa, his documentary Occupied Palestine (1981) – which led to a bomb threat at its premiere – and his more recent exposés of the plight of migrant workers in the Us.
A tall, striking, figure with a pony-tail and beard, he was a familiar sight on picket lines and demonstrations throughout California. Behind the calm and genial manner was a steely resolve. His films, like his politics, were concerned with the underdog, the immigrant or the dispossessed – people who Koff felt did not have a voice.

New Orleans -- Music fans poured through the gates at Friday's start of the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival, staking out spots to catch performances by The Beach Boys, Steel Pulse and Irma Thomas, who is performing a tribute to gospel great Mahalia Jackson.
At the Fais-Do-Do stage, the air filled with sounds of Cajun fiddles and spoons scraping across washboards as Goldman Thibodeaux & the Lawtell Playboys entertained the early-birds. His traditional Creole songs, some performed in French, kept Leona Gard of Metairie, La., dancing with a wide smile.
"They're a nice warm-up, before the faster music comes," said Gard, 65, as she danced a slow-zydeco step to Thibodeaux's engaging tunes.
Gard, who's been a fest-junkie since 1976, said Thibodeaux and the Playboys are one of the few groups that still offer an old-school sound not often heard.
"They set the pace for others like Geno Delafose," she said. "Come back...

The top of the roster reads like a who's who of past Lolla performers and includes such headliners as Kanye West, the Killers, 30 Seconds to Mars and, of course, Farrell's own Jane's Addiction.
The show, which will take place in O'Higgins Park in Santiago on April 2 and 3, will also feature the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Deftones, Fatboy Slim, the Flaming Lips, Cypress Hill, 311, Cold War Kids, the National and Ben Harper. After nearly 20 years of wandering the U.S. and then putting...

There aren't a whole lot of "parties with a purpose," but one will happen on Nov. 20 in Miami, Fl. The Bayside Rocks Festival, a reggae festival that donates a portion of its proceeds to a local non-profit, will feature reggae artists and celebrate the life of reggae legend Gergory Isaacs, who recently passed away of lung cancer.
Bayside Rocks Festival is hailed as "The Woodstock of Reggae" for its nod to the nostalgic era and artists of The Bob Marley One Love Movement. It also gives back to the community by donating proceeds to Voices United, a Miami-based non-profit organization for kids and teens devoted to promoting cultural diversity through the performing arts.
The festival has several reggae legends performing - three time Grammy Award winner, the Legendary Bunny Wailer of the original Wailers; Grammy Award winning Steel Pulse, the Grammy winner who coined the word "Reggae" himself - Toots and The Maytals,...
