ESTILO HIP HOP

Filmmaker, activist, and DJ, Laylo's new film is breathtaking! Both activists and artists, Loira (a.k.a DJ Laylo) and Eli Efi have worked together to open up minds and spread global awareness about issues in South America. Loira's new documentary ESTILO HIP HOP, which premiered on PBS last weeks, profile three artists (including Eli Efi, himself) who view Hip Hop as a tool for social change. Peep the synopsis and the trailer below. 

Estilo Hip Hop is a feature length documentary that chronicles the lives of three hip hop enthusiasts from Brazil, Chile, and Cuba who firmly believe that hip hop can change the world. As we delve into the lives of Eli Efi, Guerrillero Okulto, and Magia, we learn of three inspirational leaders responsible for mobilizing young people to become politically active. However, the personal issues affecting the three protagonists prove to be as overwhelming as the challenges posed by their political work. As the stakes assume a greater risk, Eli Efi, Guerrillero, and Magia make life-altering decisions that ultimately impact the course of their lives and that of the hip hop movement.

Also, be sure to check the ESTILO HIP HOP site for more info on how to view the full film.

A Map For Saturday

This Bordaineque documentary follows the journeys of an American kid who leaves home to travel around the world. Doors open, doors close, but the pace is ever constant. The true essence of solo trips and long time travels is hard to capture but the film does a great job of bottling the highs, low, goodbyes, and hellos. A nice reminder of times forgotten, only a small group of young adults can truly understand. Here's to wishing the group gets a little bit bigger!

Death Proof

The first part is okay...but the Quentin Tarantino film, released in 2007, really gets good with these ladies! From the scene with the clerk pushing an advanced copy of Vogue, girl talk in the car, and the diner, to Zoe playing Ship's Mast, almost dying from the car chase with Kurt Russell, and the trio getting revenge, this film will forever be a classic!




"...Fuck me, swingin' balls, out!"

"I'm sorry I called you Black Bitch!"



A girl after my own heart, ha!

What Dreams May Come

An old favorite of mine.
