Post-screening Q & A with Antonino D’Ambrosio

Can art really change the world? Do artists and musicians the power, and perhaps even the responsibility to transform society with their creativity? Antonino D’Ambrosio answers these questions with a resounding “Yes” in his powerful new documentary “Let Fury Have the Hour”. Part social document, part call to arms, the film is a celebration of the human creative spirit and features interviews with artists and thinkers including Chuck D., Ian McKaye, Billy Bragg, Wayne Kramer and others, each of whom discusses the idea of Creative Response: the ability of human beings to respond creatively to the world and the obstacles it presents. Please join us on Thursday, November 8 for a post-election, post-hurricane screening of this important film. Antonino D’Ambrosio will be present for a post-screening Q & A. Special thanks to SnagFilms and to Punk Rope for making this event possible.

Let Fury Have the Hour (Official Trailer)

“An exuberant, mixed-media collage –indeed, a thoughtful and entertaining debut film.”
–The New York Times

“A thrillingly articulate wallop of ’80s-era rage’”
– TimeOut

“Rousing documentary…You’ll leave the theater wanting to create something LOUD. Essential.”
–Rachel Maddow

In his feature directorial debut, acclaimed author, visual artist, and filmmaker Antonino D’Ambrosio has fashioned a lively social history that chronicles how a generation of artists, thinkers, and activists used their creativity—and their creations—as a response to the reactionary politics that came to define our culture in the 1980s. An exuberant, mixed media collage that incorporates graphic art, music, animation, and spoken word, the film spans three decades of change—from the cynical heyday of Reagan and Thatcher through today—and brings together over 50 writers, playwrights, painters, poets, skateboarders, dancers, musicians, and rights advocates, all of whom attest to the fact that we can re-imagine the world we live in and take an active role in making that vision a reality.
