Squatterpunk
2007, Dir.: Khavn de la Cruz, 80 min, Documentary Ð Special Screening, Silent Movie with Live-Music, Filmmaker will be present
Squatterpunk is a daring and adventurous film shot in the kind of slum neighbourhood where police protection is rare. The film, energetic and funny in a place that is supposed to be depressing, does not exactly fit into the social awareness approach of a direct cinema documentary. The score of the film is loud if not deafening. And not in vogue.
