The Tribeca Film Festival's Drive-In Series will be screening Planet B-Boy, a feature-length documentary on breakdancing. Planet B-Boy depicts the global resurgence of breakdancing through the life of a dancer in Las Vegas looking for his big break, a Korean son who seeks his father’s approval and a twelve-year-old boy in France confronting his family’s racism. From the outskirts of Paris to the suburbs of Seoul, the film serves as a reminder of hip-hop's influence on different and diverse cultures. This year the outdoor screenings return to the World Financial Plaza in Lower Manhattan and are free. Gates open at 6:30 pm and Planet B Boy will begin at 8:30 pm on Saturday, 28 April 2007. View the trailer here.

From the crossover successes of Mexican power trio Alfonso Cuarón (Y tu Mamá También), Alejandro González Iñárritu (Amores Perros), and Guillermo Del Toro (Pan's Labyrinth), to the first film produced in Paraguay in 30 years receiving a top prize at Cannes, there's been something undeniably urgent and exciting about Latin American cinema in recent years. Since 1997, the curators of Latinbeat have scoured the...
Those looking for a highlight reel of soccer trickery or an artful abstraction of a star athlete were most likely dissapointed by the recent documentary "Zidane: A 21st Century Portrait." But the balance of action highlighting Zidane's skill, coupled with a more avant-garde approach to storytelling made for a hypnotically intimate look at one of the world's most talented athletes of our time. The...
This year the San Sebastian Film Festival was an interesting mix of new cinema and nostalgia. The festival hosted a retrospective of Japanese Film Noir or Japon en Negro. A complex genre born out of imported American detective films, Japanese film noir is essentially American film noir digested by the Japanese post-war psyche. It even has its own nationalistic spin. The retrospective was thorough,...
We hope you've been dusting off those dance moves for tonight's LVHRD event, DNCHRD (aka "Dance Hard"). The concept is a dance party fueled by live music, color-coordinated dance crews, choreographed moves and an interactive art installation and in action it's sure to be a sweaty affair like most LVHRD jams. The always-innovative Eclectic Method will be deejaying all night. VJ pioneers, they mix...
by Laurice ParkinSidney Lo's show, "What Are Your Wearing Today?", which he describes as "an exercise in time and digital replication," is a group of photographs documenting the passage of time and the agent of change that it is.
