9:45 Scratch (75 min) : Documentary history of turntable scratching
SCRATCH is a feature-length documentary film that explores the world of
the hip-hop DJ. From the birth 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 "SCRATCH is a remarkable triumph on virtually every level. Not for
hip-hoppers only, this is the sort of film that leaves you feeling
uplifted, funky, and ready for more." The Austin Chronicle. "Vibrant.
Hilarious" - Elvis Mitchell.
