Again this year Incubate presents some eye candy for our visitors in the form of an extensive Film program. The location is Film Foyer Tilburg, surely one of the best rooms ever to see film. This year the Film program will have a more obvious cross link to the rest of the program, with shorts, documentaries and feature lenghts that have a reference to other parts of the Incubate program.

More documentaries, more in depth looks at what is happening across the globe in independent music, art and theatre…

The whole programme:

20.00 Anvil, the Story of Anvil (USA, 2008, Sascha Gervasi)

At 14, Toronto school friends Steve “Lips” Kudlow and Robb Reiner made a pact to rock together forever. And they meant it.

His ingenious filmmaking may first lead you to think this is a mockumentary, but it isn’t. ANVIL! THE STORY OF ANVIL is a timeless tale of survival and the unadulterated passion it takes to follow your dream, year after year. Anvil rocks – it has no other choice…

14.00 Dub Echoes (BRA, 2009, Bruno Natal)

“Dub Echoes” is a documentary that traces the origins of the Jamaican dub music and it’s influence on the development of hip hop and electronic music.The film shows how the Jamaican invention called dub ended up influencing much of the music we hear today, from electronic music to hip-hop, transforming the studio in a musical instrument and giving way to all of sonic experiments.

20.00 Man, Ooman (DK, 2007, Rosforth)

Dancehall is the music of the poor working class, and even if it’s all about looking flashy and being all sexed up in front of the video camera, the tension is bubbling up from under the surface – not least in the raw and ultra-sexual dance, which can easily take place up in trees and on top of lampposts, while living up to the deeply-rooted homophobia that accompanies it…

17.00 American Artifact (USA, 2009, Merle Becker)

American Artifact chronicles the rise of American rock poster art since its birth in the ’60s. Director Merle Becker crosses the country interviewing rock poster artists from the different eras to discover that America is currently in the midst of a 21st century “rock poster art movement”, where thousands of artists around the country are doing silk screened rock poster art inspired by their local scene, the music of our time, and the spirit of our era.

20.00 Mr. Catra the Faithful (DK, 2005, Rosforth)

Mr Catra calls himself O Fiel, The Faithful, and he is indeed very faithful, in his own way, to God and to his facção, Comando Vermelho, the most powerful criminal organization in Brazil. This film offers you an insight into a unique part of Rio de Janeiro that the official Brazilian society abstains from acknowledging. Poverty-ridden and druglord-controlled, the favelas, for the most part, are totally inaccessible to cameras. This film is the exception.
