- Synopsis:
Molly Dineen is one of Britain's most acclaimed contemporary documentary filmmakers, known for her intimate and probing portraits of British individuals and institutions, and recipient of numerous accolades, including Bafta, Grierson, and RTS awards for documentary. This is the fourth volume in The Molly Dineen Collection. Being Blacker (2018) was Dineen's first film in a decade. It tells the story of the renowned Brixton record shop owner and music producer Blacker Dread, his extended family, his friends, and the wider Brixton community. With unprecedented access granted by her old friend Blacker, she shines a spotlight on the struggles faced by the film's subjects on a daily basis. It's about immigration and generational differences; it's about music and culture; it's about being Black in Britain in the 1960s and in 2018. Sound Business (1981) was made when Molly Dineen was still a student. This cult documentary follows two British sound systems, the legendary Sir Coxsone Sound System (featuring a young Blacker Dread) and Young Lion, both based in southwest London. Sound Business offers a rare and fascinating insight into the workings of sound systems back in the 1980s, while documenting the history of Black British music. - Actors:
