Favela on Blast (Favela on Blast: Rio’s on Fire) Rio Film Season

5 May to 3 August 2012 V22 F Block

Documentary Favela on Blast is the directorial film debut from Wesley Pents (DJ Diplo) and Leandro HBL. The film documents the vibrant and innovative musical subculture that emerged in the favelas of Rio de Janeiro. The film tells the story of Baile Funk through its producers, dancers, parties, MCs and singers. It is both an engrossing journey through the evolution of the music and a telling portrait of present day life in the favelas.
