LOUD PLACES, Dir. Mathy Tremewan and Fran Broadhurst
NEW SHORTS: Docs: Regeneration + Q&A
Sat 7 Jan 16:30 ICA
A hot topic in 2017, as much of London is being gentrified with new flats and apartments, from Brixton to East London, and music venues such as Fabric are being forced to close. These short documentaries address what’s going on, giving voices to displaced residents, artists and musicians who are experiencing these changes first hand. The filmmakers and special guestswill be joining us for a panel discussion following the screening, to further discuss these issues, chaired by Michael Chandler, Programme Director at Cardboard Citizens (who make theatre with homeless people).

BETWEEN THE BEATS: BLACK MADONNA
Patrick Nation 28 mins
Four years ago, Marea Stamper was ready to give up. Since her early 20s she'd been determined to make it as a DJ and a producer, and after years of doggedly pursuing this goal—teaching herself to play, taking every gig she could get, moving to Chicago from her hometown in Kentucky—she was certain she had failed. But by gradually rising through the ranks as an undiluted version of herself—an outspoken, queer-identifying liberal and feminist with a habit of sweatily rocking out in the booth—Stamper AKA The Black Madonna gives the world of dance music a much-needed jolt, and her fans love her for it. This Resident Advisor documentary follows her during the summer of 2016 as she tours Europe.
