Scratch (75 min)
: Documentary history of turntable scratching
SCRATCH is a feature-length documentary film that

of hip-hop, when pioneering DJ's began extending
breaks on their party records (which helped inspire
break dancing and rap), to the invention of scratching
and "beat-juggling" vinyl, to its recent explosion as
a musical movement called "turntablism," it's a story
of unknown underdogs and serious virtuosos who are
radically changing the way we hear, play and create
music. SCRATCH had its world premiere at the Sundance
Film Festival and has been nominated for a 2002
Independent Spirit Award by the IFP. It's now playing
in select theaters throughout the United States and
will be released to many other cities soon
