Adam Yauch, USA, 2008, 90’,
English with Turkish subtitles
Directed by Adam Yauch (founding member of the Beastie Boys), the film follows eight of the country’s premiere high school basketball players on the fast track to the NBA, as they are adored by fans, wooed by colleges and sneaker companies, and groomed to be in the spotlight of the multi-million dollar game. Blending this next generation of b-ball players with a mix of raw hip-hop, jazz, break beats, and Yauch’s unique kinetic filmmaking, the film is an explosively entertaining look at soon-to-be NBA All Stars.
Screenings can be seen with a discounted museum ticket (8 TL). No reservations taken.
