ATLS Returns to The Maysles
Join us on April 6th when we screen our film as part of the culmination of the Fresh Bold & So Def symposium which celebrates women’s contribution to Hip hop. The legendary Maysles Documentary Center was a location we screened the first fifteen minutes of our film in order to raise funds back in 2009 and there are segments of that event that proudly appear in the film. Shout out to Jessica Green who made that happen back then.
This year we are happy to say Full Circle and Rokafella are partnering with Martha Diaz and the Hip hop Education Center after years of lifting up Hip hop culture including last year’s dance performance at Lincoln Center. Martha will host a 3 day festival that will include TED-Talk style presentations and film screenings. Our screening will be the culminating event in Harlem and feature a photo exhibit by photographer Koi Sojer.
Thank you to the committed team Rokafella, Melissa Ulto, Black Robb2, Third World Newsreel and Kwikstep / DJ KS360 who keep the film visible and part of many Breakin events and dance courses. They will be in attendance at this full circle milestone. The screening at the Maysles Cinema will also be a moment to meet local Bgirls like GI Jane with CUDA Culture in Jersey City https://www.instagram.com/cuda.culture/ and the OG Popper and Locker Peaches https://www.instagram.com/peachesrodriguez1/ who appeared in Beat Street.. both of whom appear in our film!!
A section of the part 2 of the film will be screened at Bgirl Mantis’ Let’s Kick it Bgirl gathering in Brooklyn on March 29th at 360 Flow Studio. Follow her on IG – https://www.instagram.com/mantis_360/
Below is the flyer of our film launch / fund raiser screening at The Maysles Cinema in 2009– truly a Full Circle moment. We have also recently raised funds so the film can go through a sound balancing process and it can finally be the best it can be for future generations to watch. Thank you Juan C Martinez, Thank you to the Andrew Mellon Foundation. We hope to see you there.
