Hip Hop Cinema at Culture Lab

Hip Hop Cinema at Culture Lab A season of movie screenings as a spin-off to this years 'Elements of Hip Hop' module at Newcastle University's music department. Admission will always be £0.00

Since 2005, Gustav Thomas (as the lecturer Dr. William Edmondes) has been teaching a module on Hip Hop in the Newcastle University music department. Every time the course ran, a series of Hip Hop-related movies has been shown every week to coincide with teaching; previously screenings have always taken place in teaching rooms and lecture theatres. This year, for the first time, with the recently e

stablished Film Practice & Theory degree having taken up residence in Culture Lab, the screenings will take place in what is now called The Ballroom, within Culture Lab itself, and will be open to the public. This means we can benefit from the great screen in there as well as the PA, meaning the actual music will also sound close to how it should! The movies will be shown every Tuesday evening during semester 2 teaching weeks (starting February 2, 2016 - full programme available v soon), start time 19.30. In addition, some Tuesdays will feature a 17.30 screening of a kind of support-slot hors d'oeuvre film (which has some connection to the main movie) for those who are prepared to make it. A booklet for the season written by Gustav Thomas will be available in both hardcopy and PDF downloadable from his Claws & Tongues blog.

The eighth in a series of mixes that (loosely) chronicles the development of hip hop and some of its most striking regional strains. Though largely overshadowed by the better known 90s west coast rap music from Los Angeles (i.e. the shrewdly-produced crossover ouevre of Dr. Dre and his associates),…

The seventh in a series of mixes that (loosely) chronicles the development of hip hop and some of its most striking regional strains.
