People Not Places
dir. Iqaa the Olivetone. 2009, USA/Palestine, 12 min. English/Arabic with English Subtitles.
This docu-music-video is based on the song of the same name by Invincible featuring Abeer and Suhell Nafar (DAM). Invincible exposes the process of historic and continued colonization of Palestine as being even deeper than land seizure and ethnic cleansing, but one that attempts to erase the indigenous language, culture, and memory of Palestinians. Invincible will be present at this screening.

Saturday, September 5, 4PM. Esperanza Peace & Justice Center - 922 San Pedro
Workshop: "Hip Hop and Media Organizing Against Displacement"
Hip Hop artist Invincible & DJ POW will screen and discuss the hybrid music video/documentary Locusts (2008, 11:27 min) directed by Iqaa the Olivetone and featuring Finale which addresses the physical displacement/gentrification happening in her home city of Detroit and the importance of sustainable community led development while preserving the legacy of our cities. Invincible & DJ POW will lead a participatory discussion about local organizing strategies and generating ideas to bring new people and energy into the local anti-displacement projects.

Saturday, September 5, 8PM. Esperanza Peace & Justice Center - 922 San Pedro
The Revival (World Premiere)
dir. Invincible & Iqaa the Olivetone. 2009, Europe, 17 min. English.
The Revival gives a candid glimpse into the first meeting of legendary Hip-Hop pioneer Dr. Roxanne Shante and veteran Philly emcee Bahamadia, as they trade stories of their struggles and triumphs in the industry. The Revival, a collage of performances and behind the scenes footage, was filmed by Invincible while on the road in Europe as part of We-B Girlz, an all women independent Hip-Hop tour. If Hip-Hop is dying, the women in the culture are its only hope of revival. Invincible will perform with DJ POW and DJ Mexican Step Grandfather following the screening.
