Woodstock a été l'apogée de l'ère hippie. Un demi-million de personnes ont dansé en paix et sous la pluie battante sur les groupes du moment. Woodstock raconte son histoire à travers des documents d'archives et les nombreuses voix de ceux qui ont travaillé pour le festival à l'époque et nous catapulte à travers l'espace et le temps jusqu'au cœur de l'été 1969.

Finding the Funk

Jan 31, 2014
Finding the Funk is a road trip in search of the past, present and future of Funk music. Starting with Funk's roots in Jazz and the James Brown bands of the '60s we travel to the Bay Area to celebrate Sly & the Family Stone, then to Dayton the birthplace of so many of Funk's originators, then onto Detroit where from the ashes of Motown, P-Funk's Mothership arose, and then to LA where a new crop of musicians are creating their own Funk history. On our journey into Funk, we talk to legends Sly Stone, Bootsy Collins, George Clinton, Nona Hendryx, Maceo Parker, Bernie Worrell, and Steve Arrington and their descendants Mike D, D'Angelo, Sheila E, Shock G and Sade's Stuart Matthewman. Narrated by Ahmir 'Questlove' Thompson of the Roots.

On a fateful San Francisco night in the early 60s, Condor nightclub performer Carol Doda was lowered to the stage on a floating piano, topless. Word spread quickly, setting off a wave of controversy and delight, with raids soon to follow. There was even a trial for the new celebrity.

Woodstock

Mar 26, 1970
Le plus important rassemblement de la musique pop de ces vingt dernières années. Des groupes qui ont marqué leur époque et une jeunesse qui a marqué la sienne. Un regard intime sur le Woodstock Music & Art Festival qui s'est tenu à Bethel, New York en 1969, de la préparation aux nettoyages, avec un accès historique aux initiés, des images de concerts époustouflantes et des portraits des spectateurs ; des aspects négatifs et positifs sont montrés: depuis la consommation de drogue par les artistes jusqu'aux fans nus glissant dans la boue, de l'effondrement des clôtures par des hordes inattendues jusqu'à l'arrivée surréaliste d'hélicoptères de la Garde nationale avec de la nourriture et une assistance médicale pour la ville impromptue de 500 000 habitants.

Summer of Soul (…ou quand la révolution n'a pas pu être télévisée)

A l’été 1969, à la même période que les mythiques concerts de Woodstock qui se déroulaient à une centaine de kilomètres de là, le Harlem Cultural Festival de New York donnait lieu à une impressionnante série de représentations, et cela devant plus de 300 000 personnes. Largement tombée dans l’oubli, cette manifestation dont les images n’avaient jamais été diffusées revient aujourd’hui sur le devant de la scène grâce au travail accompli par le musicien, auteur-compositeur, DJ et journaliste Ahmir « Questlove » Thompson, qui signe avec SUMMER OF SOUL sa première réalisation pour le compte de Onyx Collective et Searchlight Pictures.
