Era of Dance (Deju Laikmets)
LV/RU 2017
Regie/Dir: Viktor Buda
76 min OmeU

Wer Westbam sagt, muß auch Eastbam sagen. So hat sich der lettische 
Musiker Roberts Gobziņš genannt, einer der Schlüsselfiguren der 
Raveszene in Riga Ende der 80er Jahre. In Era of Dance gräbt Regisseur 
Viktor Buda bisher unveröffentlichte Archivaufnahmen von Parties und 
Kunstaktionen aus, u.a. wie die lettischen Musiker Jānis Krauklis and 
Uģis Polis mit Tonbändern so scratchten wie im Westen mit Vinylscheiben 
aufgelegt wurde und damit eine besondere lettische Spielart des DJing 
entwickelt haben. Neben den Rigaer Raveaktivisten kommen auch Westbam, 
der Ende der 80er regelmäßig mit sowjetischen Musikern und DJs 
zusammengearbeitet hat, Technopionier Derrick May und der 
deutsch-lettische Medienkünstler Indulis Bilzāns zu Wort.

Ort: Lichtblick-Kino, Kastanienallee 77, 10435 Berlin

Rumble - The Indians Who Rocked the World
CDN 2017
Regie/Dirs: Catherine Bainbridge, Alfonso Maiorana
103 min engl. OV

“It is the sound of that guitar – the aggression”, schwärmt Martin 
Scorsese. Der verzerrte Gitarrensound von Link Wrays Rockklassiker 
„Rumble“ (1958) ist weltbekannt und bis heute stilbildend. Weniger 
bekannt ist: Wie auch die Musiklegenden Robbie Robertson, Jimi Hendrix 
oder Randy Castillo stammte Wray von nordamerikanischen Ureinwohnern ab. 
Zum ersten Mal zeigt ein Dokumentarfilm, wie Künstler mit indigenen 
Wurzeln Rock, Blues, Folk, Jazz und Pop entscheidend geprägt haben. 
Packend verknüpft RUMBLE Konzertmitschnitte, Archivaufnahmen und 
Interviews. Dabei versammeln die Regisseure das Who is Who der Szene von 
Iggy Pop über Marky Ramone und Robert Trujillo bis zu Tony Bennett.

The first edition of Soundwatch - Berlin Music Film Festival is ending 
this Saturday, November 25. This is the last chance to see two films of 
this year's program.

6:30 p.m.
Era of Dance (Deju Laikmets)
LV/RU 2017
Dir: Viktor Buda
76 min OmeU

"The Latvian/Russian documentary film, Deju Laikmets (Era of Dance) 
tells the story of how the techno explosion of the ’80s was brought to 
the Soviet Union – via Riga, in a most unexpected way. It is above all 
the tale of one extraordinary, and often overlooked man: Indulis 
Bilzens, born in Riga in 1940 but raised in West Germany after his 
father was deported to Siberia and his mother fled the Soviet invasion. 
Having studied electronic composition in Düsseldorf, become involved in 
the British peace movement while studying at Cambridge University and 
worked for a number of German newspapers, Bilzens began to visit his 
homeland, still under Soviet occupation, in the late ’70s. A friendship 
with the German DJ Maximilian Lenz (who plays under the name WestBam, 
taken from a name Bilzens gave him – “Westphalia Bambaataa”) led to an 
interest in the new electronic music coming out of the US. Bilzens and 
Lenz made repeated visits to Riga in the late ’80s, introducing DJ 
culture to a curious, and increasingly enthusiastic Latvian audience, 
but being viewed with decided suspicion from official quarters – 
including the KGB." (Deep Baltic <https://www.facebook.com/DeepBaltic/>)

Rumble - The Indians Who Rocked the World
CDN 2017
Dirs: Catherine Bainbridge, Alfonso Maiorana
103 min Engl. OV

When recalling Link Wray’s shivering guitar classic, “Rumble,” Martin 
Scorsese marvels, “It is the sound of that guitar . . . that 
aggression.” "Rumble" was the first song to use distortion and feedback. 
It introduced the rock power chord – and was one of the very few 
instrumental singles to be banned from the radio for fear it would 
incite violence.
RUMBLE explores how the Native American influence is an integral part of 
music history, despite attempts to ban, censor, and erase Indian culture 
in the United States.
As RUMBLE reveals, the early pioneers of the blues had Native as well as 
African American roots, and one of the first and most influential jazz 
singers’ voices was trained on Native American songs. As the folk rock 
era took hold in the 60s and 70s, Native Americans helped to define its 
evolution. Father of the Delta Blues Charley Patton, influential jazz 
singer Mildred Bailey, metaphysical guitar wizard Jimi Hendrix, and folk 
heroine Buffy Sainte-Marie are among the many music greats who have 
Native American heritage and have made their distinctive mark on music 
history. For the most part, their Indian heritage was unknown.
RUMBLE shows how Indigenous music was part of the very fabric of 
American popular music from the beginning, but that the Native American 
contribution was left out of the story – until now.
