The Hip-Hop Association Dubs Film Festival, The World Is Yours! The 5th Annual Hip-Hop Odyssey International Film Festival is sponsored by Jordan Brand, XXL Magazine, SoonR, & the ImaginAsian Theatre
“This year we received an astounding number of film submissions. Our filmmakers are some of the most innovative, including producers & directors that grew from making music videos to feature length films, alongside brand new filmmakers using the aesthetics and inspirations of Hip-Hop to tell new stories. All of them use media as a tool for empowerment, education and social awareness within the Hip-Hop community. I would like to give thanks to all for their continued work in these efforts! See you in June,” says Stacey L’Air Lee, Director of Media.
Taking place from May 31, 2007 – June 16, 2007 at the ImaginAsian Theatre in New York City, this year’s theme “The World Is Yours” highlights the Hip-Hop community of the early/mid 90’s; a time when youth in the community began stepping up and demanding money, power, and respect. Over the course of three weekends, H2OIFF will screen over 60 films from over 10 countries; produce 6 panel discussions on topics ranging from social justice issues to the future of media distribution; and host its hallmark Odyssey Awards ceremony on Saturday, June 16th at the renowned BB Kings Blues Club.
