| Summary |
Rough, raw, and unapologetically inspirational, Let Fury Have the Hour is a charged journey into the heart of the creative counter-culture in 2012. In a time of global challenge and big questions, this upbeat, outspoken film tracks the story of the artists, writers, thinkers, and musicians who have gone underground to re-imagine the world--particularly equality, community, and engaged creativity--in exuberantly paradigm-busting ways. Writer/director Antonino D'Ambrosio unites 50 powerful, of-the-moment voices--from street artist Shepard Fairey to comic Lewis Black--who share personal and powerful tales of how they transformed anger and angst into provocative art and ideas. Mix-mastered with historical footage, animation and performances, the film delivers a visceral portrait of a generation looking to revamp a system that has failed to address the most pressing problems of our times. The story begins in the 1980s with the rise of Reagan and Thatcher--and a cultural shift towards fierce individualism and rampant consumerism. Coming of age in a world seemingly gone mad, a group of kids started searching for something more authentic. They ultimately formed their own renegade movement, a hybrid, haphazard collective of skateboarders, punk rockers, rappers, street poets, feminists, and graffiti artists whose reaction to this brave new world was not to turn away, but to turn up the volume and have their say. Now that generation is coming to the fore, sparking a global movement focused not just on pushing the boundaries with guitars, paint, dance, storytelling, graphics, and subcultural style--but on coming together around real reasons for hope |
