Faire kifer les anges [But - Hop]
Year of production
1996
“One day, by chance, I found myself at a neighborhood party with the West Indian and Arab children of the fathers with whom I had been in the factory. They didn’t know the working culture and didn’t have this idea at all that they had a culture to offer. Whereas in hip hop, there was a joy in asserting one’s difference. I became aware of the strength, of the lever represented by hip hop as an expression of the underprivileged classes. I wanted to film this. It took me 3 years to find financing. TV thought it was American subculture and didn’t understand that it was an autodidact culture, different from that of Power. In addition, their samples, their DIY and montages resemble what I do in my films.”
