Adam Yauch

Here's a little story they're about to tell... Mike Diamond and Adam Horovitz share the story of their band and 40 years of friendship in a live documentary experience directed by friend, collaborator, and their former grandfather, Spike Jonze.

Fight for Your Right Revisited stars Danny McBride, Seth Rogen, and Elijah Wood as the "young" Beastie Boys from the past and Jack Black, John C. Reilly, and Will Ferrell as the "old" Beastie Boys from the future. The story begins where the video for "Fight for Your Right (1987)" ended.

A provocative look into the seven-year history of the series that gave hip hop a voice and broke color barriers, integrating MTV with rap. "Yo! MTV Raps" premiered on August 6, 1988 with hosts Fab 5 Freddy, Ed Lover and Doctor Dré, and shaped the careers of many of today’s hip hop superstars, while simultaneously making groundbreaking strides in introducing hip hop to the mainstream.

Bad Brains are one of the most important and influential American bands still working today. They melded punk and reggae into an innovative style that has yet to be copied. Their impact and influence can be heard in groups like Beastie Boys, No Doubt, Nirvana, Jane's Addiction and countless more. Despite the troubles of an eccentric front man they have stayed together for 30 years without ever reaching the level of success so many think they deserve. Using rare archival footage and original comic illustrations the film re-constructs Bad Brains' rich and complicated history.

Having forged a 20-year run as one of the most innovative and influential hip hop bands of all time, the Queens NY collective known as 'A Tribe Called Quest' have kept a generation hungry for more of their groundbreaking music since their much publicized breakup in 1998.

The Beastie Boys played a legendary headlining set at the Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival on June 12, 2009. Unbeknownst to the crowd at the time, this 90-minute performance would go down in history as the trio's final concert ever, due to the cancer diagnosis of Adam 'MCA' Yauch. The cancer proved far more aggressive than anyone had thought, taking Adam’s life in May 2012, less than three years after the diagnosis. The group’s concert at Bonnaroo remains a testament to the brilliance of MCA and the strength of the Beastie Boys as a unit. The 90-minute appearance saw the group deliver a career-spanning set covering everything from Ill Communication to Check Your Head and Hello Nasty. Midway through the set, Nas arrived onstage to perform a rendition of ‘Too Many Rappers’ from the Beastie Boy’s then-forthcoming LP Hot Sauce Committee, which was eventually released in 2011, a year after Adam’s passing.

Features live clips and 16 artists performances from Bonnaroo 2009 in Manchester, TN.

Famous comic book artist Stephen R. Bissette, creator of DC Comic Book character "The Swamp Thing" and co-creator of the comic character "Constantine" teaches film appreciation and the art of comic book illustration in rural Vermont. Bissette is a life-long fan of DANGER: DIABOLIK and in "From Fumetti to Film," Bissette gives us a guided tour of how, in his own words, DANGER: DIABOLIK was "...the best adaptation of comic book to feature film bar none." His concepts of how the apparent 2-dimensional world of comic book illustrations were faithfully, but imaginatively re-interpreted by director Mario Bava are enhanced with side by side comparisons of the original comic book images laid next to film clips. Other films and television adaptations of comic books in that era were less successful, according to Bissette.
