About this Event
Fresh from its Tribeca Film Festival premiere,
IT WAS ALL A DREAM (2024. dream hampton) screens for the first time in Brooklyn, exclusively with Alfreda's Cinema and as part of our NEW collaboration with the Brownsville Heritage House.
It Was All A Dream (2024. Dream Hampton. 83 min. USA)
"The year is 1993 and hip-hop is primed for its eventual global takeover. Wu-Tang’s “Enter The Wu-Tang” and A Tribe Called Quest’s “Midnight Marauders” are released on the same day, Salt-N-Pepa’s fourth album “Very Necessary” pushes them into the mainstream while Doggystyle breaks into the Billboard 200 at number one, and all this is just the tip of the iceberg. Armed with a camera and a front-row seat is provocative music journalist dream hampton.
Constructed from director dream hampton’s personal archive, It Was All a Dream is a visual memoir reflecting on the dawn of the golden era of hip-hop. It takes viewers inside the studio with intimate access to some of rap’s most celebrated minds, including hampton’s neighbor The Notorious BIG, Wu Tang’s Method Man, Mobb Deep, Snoop Dogg and many more. With narration constructed from her previous work as the astonishing footage unfolds, hampton not only provides insight to this era of hip-hop but also firmly establishes her place in its story."––Faridah Gbadamosi, Tribeca Film Festival
