New York Premiere of Reggae Film "RiseUp"

On Thursday, February 25, 2010, ImageNation Cinema Foundation and
the Film Society of Lincoln Center present a Black History Month celebration
of reggae music and culture, with the New York Premiere of RiseUp, at the
Walter Reade Theater.

RiseUp is a cinematic journey into the heart of Jamaica,†where artists fight
to rise up from obscurity and write themselves into music history. Directed
by Luciano Blotta, RiseUp features reggae legends Lee "Scratch" Perry,
Sly Dunbar, Robbie Shakespeare, and many rising stars including Turbulence.

Recently awarded the Best Music Documentary at the AFI/Discovery Silverdocs
Festival, some are calling RiseUp the Jamaican-music version of "Hoop Dreams"
and the best reggae film since "The Harder They Come."
