CariBBeing‘s Fl@tbush Film Festival, a month-long series of weekend screenings which launched last Friday at MoCADA in Brooklyn (in Fort Greene, however, not Flatbush), switches locations tonight to the Maysles Cinema in Harlem, for a pair of documentaries from the French Antilles. While Janluk Stanislas’ Nou Yorkers follows a crew of graffiti writers from Guadeloupe who sojourn to New York City to mingle with idols and practice their art in its mecca, Conversation A Une Voix…Avec Max Cilla tells the story of traditional flute master Max Cilla, known as “Le Pere de la Flute” (“The Father of the Mountain Flute”) in Martinique.

It’s true you reap what you sow; a few months back I gave homie and AfroPop Worldwide producer Wills Glasspiegel some game on dub pioneers who were still amongst the living, leads that became interviews for his brand new super-ape of a radio documentary for the Hip Deep segment of APW. When I went to check it I realized that in their mission to cover Afro-diasporic culture in all it’s multiform beauty, Hip Deep has actually been at least neckdeep in Caribbean culture. Check the trailer for Dub: the Medium is the Message below but then go to APW for the interviews with Lee Scratch, Clive Chin and Bullwackies, not to mention recent shows on Trinidad Carnival, Merengue and Afro-Dominican music, Chutney and the Indo-Caribbean diaspora, the zouk rhythm of the French Antilles, the secret history of Reggaeton and more…!
