With a new film from Maori Karmael Holmes

SCENE NOT HEARD
Maori Karmael Holmes
Right from the beginning of the hip hop movement, Philadelphia artists have made major contributions as emcees, graffitti artists, dancers and especially as deejays. But somehow Philly still doesn't get the kind of props that LA or even Atlanta does, despite its unique proliferation of female hip hop artists. This new film from Maori Karmael Holmes seeks to tell the story of these women - the legends and the newcomers - as they struggle to succeed in a male-dominated industry. (2005, 45 min)
