Film Screening: "Faire Kiffer les anges" 

A part of Urban Corp 2014 presented by Alliances Francaise


A documentary by Jean Pierre Thorn, 1998, France (120 min) on the origins of the French Hip Hop movement. A discussion will follow.

For over twenty years, from the Bronx to Lyon, in cities and in suburbs, a rebellious artistic movement has been growing. Hip hop has allowed young people to express themselves through dance, rap music, and other art forms since the 1980s.

But who are these hip hop dancers, and where does their wild beauty come from? What do their dreams, their hopes, and their demons look like?
How can we explain an entire generation?s identification with this single, powerful movement?
"Faire kiffer les anges" is a journey to hip hop?s greatest landmarks, to places where the movement first took shape.
 
Watch the trailer here.
 
The "Faire Kiffer les anges" screening is a part of URBAN CORPS 2014: A Transatlantic Urban Dance Festival, returning to Washington, DC for the third time this Spring.
