Turn It Loose

Turn it Loose showcases the pulsating b-boy culture which has evolved over the last 30 years into a truly global phenomenon. Six competitors from all corners of the globe battle one on one for the chance to be crowned World Champion 2007. From backstage at BC One (a cavernous former Soweto power station) to the backstreets of Senegal, Japan, America, France and Brazil, Siddons finds beauty in the b-boys’ individual stories, their relentless drive and respect for each other and their art. Slowing down their movements or suspending them in mid twist, the film perfectly captures the intensity of their moment, allowing the audience to gaze in awe at the athleticism of youth. A genuinely uplifting film and one of the best dance documentary films in recent years. VT

Meet filmmaker Alastair Siddons at the post-screening q and a – we also hope to feature a live breakdancing performance.
