Cinefamily.org is a nice site dedicated to films and unique presentation of them. Check out this great upcoming screening if you’re in the LA area:

SPECIAL TUESDAY EVENT: 9/23 @ 8pm
Delicious Vinyl presents: L.A. Old-Skool, 1982-1989
Get ready to “set it off” Strafe-style with some rare footage from the Delicious Vinyl Vaults, giving you a tour of early hip-hop in Los Angeles. You’ll catch ultra-rare footage of Ramellzee and graffiti artist Jean Michel Basquiat at the Rhythm Lounge on Melrose–a rare pocket in the advent of L.A. hip hop culture.  Also, Soul Brother “Legendary” will present highlights from 1982-1989 (from the Freak Beat to the Golden Era), from his upcoming Suns of James Brown documentary, which features footage of Uncle Jam’s Army, Jam City, Ultrawave, and underground dance crews including early moves from members of The Pharcyde.  Next, Delicious Vinyl artists (Tone Loc, Young MC, Def Jef, and Body And Soul) appear in a 1988 Electronic Press Kit made for the label by director Tamra Davis.  Plus music videos, a live dance performance by the Soul Brothers, DJ set by KDAY Grand Mixer M-Walk, and some other very special guests! To top it all off, Peanut Butter Wolf will be in the house to VJ a set of visuals to cap off the night.
Tickets - $12. More info and buy tickets here.
