Screening of Ngatahi - Know Your Rights next Thursday
- Texture
- While Dean Hapeta was once better known for his excellent work with late 80s/90s hardcore rap group Upper Hutt Posse, he has since turned his hand to socio-political, digital filmmaking. And the world premiere of part five of his Ngatahi - Know The Links series of films will be screened next Thursday 9 October at the City Gallery. The hip-hop themed, six-part 'rapumentary' focuses on native arts and activism in twenty countries. The globe-trotting travelogue sees writer/director/editor/producer Hapeta travel through countries and trace the links between minority cultures while investigating musical, political and social cultures. With a strong hip-hop theme, Hapeta finds and interviews like-minded activists in such varied places as Palestine, Ireland and the Philippines. Parts one and two of Ngatahi were in the official selection for the 2004 Sundance Film Festival, and they are available on DVD should you want to catch up before you see the latest instalment. Koha/gold coin entry. - Kiran
