Frekuensia Kolombiana – The Documentary
"One of the 10 TOP hip hop films"
-Martha Diaz: Odyssey Film Festival, Hip Hop Assoc., New York City
Frekuensia Kolombiana directed by Vanessa Gocksch and produced by Vanessa Gocksch and Walter Hernandez explores the traditional forms of Colombian music and its relation to Hip Hop. By way of interviews, events, situations and landscapes, the documentary uncovers a youth that constructs from exclusion a movement of hope and truth. As we witness their efforts to self-produce, organize and multiply knowledge, we realize their necessity to perpetuate, communicate, give and exist. Through the lyrics of Tribu Omerta , Por Razones de Estado , Zona Marginal and others, we discover the lucid consciousness of a youth that through art, seeks to awaken and renew its society. This documentary represents the voice of the Colombian street.
Frekuensia Kolombiana has been officially selected to participate in over 20 film festivals worldwide including the 24th Annual Chicago Latino Film Festival 2008; 2008 Jacksonville Film Festival; The 11th Annual International Latino Film Festival, San Francisco, 2007; Documenta Madrid, Madrid, España, 2007; DOCSDF, Mexico City, Mexico 2007.
This is the second documentary by the directress on the subject. The first; Testimonios Hip Hop Colombiano: Año 2000, won Best Documentary Short in the first edition of the H20 Film Festival in New York City.
Frekuensia Kolombiana – The Music Compilation
