Era of Dance (Deju Laikmets)
LV/RU 2017
Regie/Dir: Viktor Buda
76 min OmeU
Wer Westbam sagt, muß auch Eastbam sagen. So hat sich der lettische
Musiker Roberts Gobziņš genannt, einer der Schlüsselfiguren der
Raveszene in Riga Ende der 80er Jahre. In Era of Dance gräbt Regisseur
Viktor Buda bisher unveröffentlichte Archivaufnahmen von Parties und
Kunstaktionen aus, u.a. wie die lettischen Musiker Jānis Krauklis and
Uģis Polis mit Tonbändern so scratchten wie im Westen mit Vinylscheiben
aufgelegt wurde und damit eine besondere lettische Spielart des DJing
entwickelt haben. Neben den Rigaer Raveaktivisten kommen auch Westbam,
der Ende der 80er regelmäßig mit sowjetischen Musikern und DJs
zusammengearbeitet hat, Technopionier Derrick May und der
deutsch-lettische Medienkünstler Indulis Bilzāns zu Wort.
Ort: Lichtblick-Kino, Kastanienallee 77, 10435 Berlin

Rumble - The Indians Who Rocked the World
CDN 2017
Regie/Dirs: Catherine Bainbridge, Alfonso Maiorana
103 min engl. OV
“It is the sound of that guitar – the aggression”, schwärmt Martin
Scorsese. Der verzerrte Gitarrensound von Link Wrays Rockklassiker
„Rumble“ (1958) ist weltbekannt und bis heute stilbildend. Weniger
bekannt ist: Wie auch die Musiklegenden Robbie Robertson, Jimi Hendrix
oder Randy Castillo stammte Wray von nordamerikanischen Ureinwohnern ab.
Zum ersten Mal zeigt ein Dokumentarfilm, wie Künstler mit indigenen
Wurzeln Rock, Blues, Folk, Jazz und Pop entscheidend geprägt haben.
Packend verknüpft RUMBLE Konzertmitschnitte, Archivaufnahmen und
Interviews. Dabei versammeln die Regisseure das Who is Who der Szene von
Iggy Pop über Marky Ramone und Robert Trujillo bis zu Tony Bennett.

The first edition of Soundwatch - Berlin Music Film Festival is ending
this Saturday, November 25. This is the last chance to see two films of
this year's program.
6:30 p.m.
Era of Dance (Deju Laikmets)
LV/RU 2017
Dir: Viktor Buda
76 min OmeU
"The Latvian/Russian documentary film, Deju Laikmets (Era of Dance)
tells the story of how the techno explosion of the ’80s was brought to
the Soviet Union – via Riga, in a most unexpected way. It is above all
the tale of one extraordinary, and often overlooked man: Indulis
Bilzens, born in Riga in 1940 but raised in West Germany after his
father was deported to Siberia and his mother fled the Soviet invasion.
Having studied electronic composition in Düsseldorf, become involved in
the British peace movement while studying at Cambridge University and
worked for a number of German newspapers, Bilzens began to visit his
homeland, still under Soviet occupation, in the late ’70s. A friendship
with the German DJ Maximilian Lenz (who plays under the name WestBam,
taken from a name Bilzens gave him – “Westphalia Bambaataa”) led to an
interest in the new electronic music coming out of the US. Bilzens and
Lenz made repeated visits to Riga in the late ’80s, introducing DJ
culture to a curious, and increasingly enthusiastic Latvian audience,
but being viewed with decided suspicion from official quarters –
including the KGB." (Deep Baltic <https://www.facebook.com/DeepBaltic/>)

Rumble - The Indians Who Rocked the World
CDN 2017
Dirs: Catherine Bainbridge, Alfonso Maiorana
103 min Engl. OV
When recalling Link Wray’s shivering guitar classic, “Rumble,” Martin
Scorsese marvels, “It is the sound of that guitar . . . that
aggression.” "Rumble" was the first song to use distortion and feedback.
It introduced the rock power chord – and was one of the very few
instrumental singles to be banned from the radio for fear it would
incite violence.
RUMBLE explores how the Native American influence is an integral part of
music history, despite attempts to ban, censor, and erase Indian culture
in the United States.
As RUMBLE reveals, the early pioneers of the blues had Native as well as
African American roots, and one of the first and most influential jazz
singers’ voices was trained on Native American songs. As the folk rock
era took hold in the 60s and 70s, Native Americans helped to define its
evolution. Father of the Delta Blues Charley Patton, influential jazz
singer Mildred Bailey, metaphysical guitar wizard Jimi Hendrix, and folk
heroine Buffy Sainte-Marie are among the many music greats who have
Native American heritage and have made their distinctive mark on music
history. For the most part, their Indian heritage was unknown.
RUMBLE shows how Indigenous music was part of the very fabric of
American popular music from the beginning, but that the Native American
contribution was left out of the story – until now.
