LONGSIDE - Italian sound system documentary Five years ago, moved by a great passion for this sub-culture, I start shoting a indipendent documentary about dub/roots and sound system culture in Italy. The documentary is a trip into the underground dub scene, which recently gained importance, reaching out unexplored spaces. It's a trip into the places where the scene is alive, where the dub music is the local identity, is a refuge and freedom, is growth, discipline, militancy in the name of justice and equity in the world, in Italy and in our own towns. Through the actual stories of the leading actors, the documentary explores the origins that brought to the technical and artistic development of a style originated in Jamaica and spread in UK where it found a fertile ground for improvement.
The documentary is divided in three episodes with English subtitles (the last episode is coming out soon) plus a teaser episode.
