《鴉之城》是迪克.方登持續探索嘻哈文化的成果。延續第一部中對於饒舌、DJ文化等黑人社群文化呈現的考究,本片場景依舊設定在紐約的South Bronx,而焦點則集中在街頭塗鴉傳奇人物 'Brim' Fuentes,以及最早為嘻哈文化命名,人稱嘻哈教父的DJ Afrika Bambaataa。片名「Bombin’」在嘻哈黑話中意指街頭塗鴉,片中流竄著半虛構半紀實的風格,就如同嘻哈先驅者混接美國文化與各國文化的努力,觀眾有如親臨黑人草根運動的萌芽現場,可以輕鬆看待,也可拋開對嘻哈文化所有的成見,一起搖擺。

Bombin’ is Dick Fontaine’s follow-up to his film Beat This!: A Hip Hop History, a documentary that caught a worldwide musical and cultural movement in the making.  Bombin’ traces the visit of New York graffiti legend Brim Fuentes and hip-hop innovator Afrika Bambaataa to the UK in 1985.

迪克.方登 Dick Fontaine

迪克.方登是第一位正面肯定並詳細紀錄嘻哈文化興起的導演。他的影像風格大膽前衛,並擅長融合紀實與虛構手法,引人入勝。他不滿足只紀錄音樂活動的外表,而更把心力專注於探討音樂背後的文化現象。

方登的披頭四影片《耶!耶!耶!》(Yeah!Yeah!Yeah!)是英國第一部「真實電影」紀錄片,45分鐘的內容裡沒有任何旁白,全程使用手搖鏡頭、特寫畫面、與現場收音技巧,在當年被認為是創舉。他曾拍攝的對象包括貝蒂•卡特,約翰•凱奇,Johnny Rotten,桑尼•羅林斯,歐奈.柯爾曼等,影片《爵士使者》(The Jazz Messenger)曾獲得多項獎座,並曾在美國院線放映。

Dick Fontaine is a veteran filmmaker and teacher known for his innovative ideas and techniques in the documentary genre. His started his career as producer and researcher for Yeah Yeah Yeah: New York Meets the Beatles, which captured the overwhelming phenomenon of 'Beatlemania' in 1964. In his work, Fontaine has profiled a number of well-known artists, including jazz musicians Ornette Coleman and Rahasaan Roland Kirk, avant-garde musician John Cage, punk icon Johnny Rotten, opera singer Kathleen Battle, jazz diva Betty Carter, and writers Norman Mailer and James Baldwin.

“Peace. I’m out.”

柯而霓擔任《鴉之城》一片的翻譯。立志畢生致力於Hip hop相關事業的她,認為Hip hop是所有和美國黑人相關的歷史、政治和藝術的交集的一個呈現。身為一位Hip hop舞者、一位饒舌歌手、塗鴉畫家或Hip hop DJ,並不代表認識Hip hop;就如同背了很多英文單字,卻無法把英文說得流利一樣。她衷心希望大家有機會欣賞到Hip hop最精采的一面。

Kaya Ko translated the Dick Fontaine film Bombin' into Mandarin Chinese, and will moderate the discussion forum after the film’s screening.
