Bfm’s International Film
Festival is
one of the premier UK annual black events held in central London each year. The
Festival was established with the aim of filling a void within London film
exhibition scene. There was a complete absence of black world cinema both in
terms of the multiplexes or existing festivals like London, Edinburgh which
would show the occasional film but this was a long way short of the wealth and
depth of work available. There was therefore an opportunity for a new cinema.
Most importantly there were audiences particularly within the African-Caribbean
community for films that reflected their cultural experience. Also lacking was
opportunities for the work of UK filmmakers who had become virtually
marginalized. The festival therefore was established to make a difference and to
bring the unseen to light.
GOLDDIGGER KILLER: A rape
victim seeks ride the world of misogyny.
Set in the flashy Hip Hop it revels the not so glamorous Side of “Playas”
and “Golddiggers”.
Golddigger
Killer writer
Jeff Carroll’s goal was to reveal the “Playa” and “Golddigger” mentality and how
they are introduced in relationships.
The film depicts the twisted values that many people of the Hip-Hop
generation have. Director Roderick
Giles displays many effective scenes using a series of montages, close-ups, and
shadows. These techniques give the film’s dark and sinister side. While focusing on Hip-Hop, poetry is
also showcased giving the viewers a better understanding of the emotional
frustration present in performance poetry.
Golddigger Killer has cameos by some of Hip-Hop’s top comedians which
allow humor to flow through without deviating form the film’s
focus.
