Jacksonville Film Festival




I didn't know you had it in you, Duval. You maketh me proud.

Anyone else attending any screenings throughout the Jacksonville Film Festival? If nothing else, I'm thinking about going to Hip Hop for the Masses street and garage party, which I first heard of via Joey Marchy's post on UrbanJacksonville. However, here's a description from the official site:

Hip-Hop For The Masses Celebration!<!---->

Purchase Tickets to screening of Inside The Circle and Hip-Hop for the Masses street party

Southeast Premiere!
Inside The Circle - USA

Capturing the raw power of a grassroots hip-hop movement, the multi-award-winning documentary “Inside the Circle,” tells the story of two strikingly talented b-boys (break-dancers), Josh and Omar, best friends who become rivals when they join competing dance crews. Immersed in the b-boy culture of defiant creativity, Omar rises to international renown, while Josh tangles with the criminal justice system. Both of them struggle to keep dance at the center of their lives and the B-Boy City competitive events serve as emotional milestones in their journey to adulthood.

Film presentation will be followed by “Hip-Hop for the Masses,” street party taking place just outside of the Florida Theatre with B Boy Circles, live graffiti artists and a hip-hop stage with guest DJ’s and performers.


I want to see a film or two during the rest of the week, so let me know by text, phone call, comment, if any one of you are attending anything specific.
