“… ha creado su escuela rogue (pícaro) de cine, una “experiencia intensa” donde la lista de lecturas obligadas incluyen las Geórgicas de Virgilio, “en latín a ser posible”; poesía islándesa clásica; Historia verdadera de la conquista de la nueva España, el libro de Bernal Díaz del Castillo, cronista de Indias y ayudante de Hernán Cortes, o el informe de la comisión Warren. Además de solicitar a sus estudiantes que vayan andando a este “circo ambulante” que es su escuela y que, como anuncia en su web (www.roguefilmschool.com), no enseña nada de técnica relacionada con hacer cine. “Para eso que vayan a su academia local”, zanja Herzog.” Werner Herzog rumbo al Paleolítico · El País

Superzebraman es la primera coproducción hispano-​nigeriana de la historia del cine en Nollywood (Sobrenombre por el que se conoce a la industria cinematográfica nigeriana por ser la 3ª a nivel mundial).

Allí no dependes de un gran productor ni de una institución para hacer una película. El presupuesto de las producciones gira entorno a los 10.000 dólares y llegan a grabarse en seis días… algo que podíamos llegar a plantearnos.

Copyright Criminals
Copyright Criminals examines the creative and commercial value of musical sampling, including the related debates over artistic expression, copyright law, and (of course) money.This documentary traces the rise of hip-hop from the urban streets of New York to its current status as a multibillion-dollar industry. For more than thirty years, innovative hip-hop performers and producers have been re-using portions of previously recorded music in new, otherwise original compositions. When lawyers and record companies got involved, what was once referred to as a “borrowed melody” became a “copyright infringement.”The film showcases many of hip-hop music’s founding figures like Public Enemy, De La Soul, and Digital Underground—while also featuring emerging hip-hop artists from record labels Definitive Jux, Rhymesayers, Ninja Tune, and more.It also provides an in-depth look at artists who have been sampled, such as Clyde Stubblefield (James Brown’s drummer and the world’s most sampled musician), as well as commentary by another highly sampled musician, funk legend George Clinton.As artists find ever more inventive ways to insert old influences into new material, this documentary asks a critical question, on behalf of an entire creative community: Can you own a sound?Support for Copyright Criminals provided in part by the Independent Television Service, Ford Foundation, MacArthur Foundation, and the University of Iowa.
