FunkologiaGil Scott-Heron – gniewny głos rewolucjiNazywany ojcem chrzestnym hip-hopu, Gil Scott-Heron był przede wszystkim poetą czarnej rewolucji lat 70. Jego teksty do dziś nie straciły na aktualności – nadal bezlitośnie punktują mit Amerykańskiego Snu. Choć sam chciał zostać pisarzem, to muzyka ostatecznie wyznaczyła kierunek jego kariery. Gil nigdy nie podążał za trendami – jego celne pióro opisywało zmieniającą się rzeczywistość, która nadawała rytm jego twórczości.
Pomimo bolesnych zmagań z nałogiem, do końca życia pozostał postacią szanowaną i do dziś jest wspominany jako głos pokolenia. Oto historia życia poety rewolucji.

The Empire Film PodcastThe Extraordinary Miss Flower: An Empire Podcast Interview SpecialIain Forsyth and Jane Pollard's The Extraordinary Miss Flower is part-concert film, part-performance art piece inspired by the life of its subject, a woman called Geraldine Flower. When she passed away a few years ago, her daughter Zoe discovered a number of letters, written over the years by suitors of Geraldine's, which painted a picture of a wildly charismatic, enigmatic and magnetic woman. Zoe's close friend, Icelandic singer Emiliana Torrini, and Zoe's husband, the musician Simon Byrt, were inspired by the letters, and thus 2024's album, Miss Flower, was born. And, not long after that, Forsyth and Pollard's film...2025-05-1730 min

FilmFlow014: Poti k zvezdamV prvi epizodi čisto novega leta, smo pod drobnogled vzele dva odlična meta filma, Oblaki nad Sils Mario (Oliver Assayas, 2014) in Poti k zvezdam (David Cronenberg, 2014). Oba tematizirata naravo zvezdništva v današnjih časih in ponudita intimen pogled v svet igralcev, natančneje igralk. Poleg omenjenih dveh, se s podobno tematiko ukvarjata vsaj še dva vidnejša filma lanskega leta – Birdman (Alejandro González Iñárritu, 2014) in 20.000 dni na zemlji (Iain Forsyth, Jane Pollard, 2014), kar nam je ponudilo izvrstno iztočnico za pogovor o planetu imenovanem Crazywood.
