William Badgley has made two music documentaries - Kill All Redneck Pricks: A Documentary Film about a Band Called KARP and Here To Be Heard: The Story of the Slits.Both bands were hugely influential, in vastly different ways for different generations. KARP has a small but mighty cult following, especially for the ‘90s Pacific Northwest, the scene that Badgley grew up in.The Slits were a wild band of young women in the first wave of UK punk. ‘they broke up in the early 80s, then reformed with 2 principal members in the oughts and kept touring until the death of singer Ari Up in 2010Badgley is wrapping up his documentary about Don Letts, the crucial link between London’s punk and reggae subcultures who is an archivist and filmmaker in his own right (and former manager of The Slits). I was able to catch an in-progress cut of the Letts film, Rebel Dread, at the Echo Park Film Center - so there’s some talk about that version which will be pretty different by the time of an official release.Follow us on:Twitter: @supdocpodcastInstagram: @supdocpodcastFacebook: @supdocpodcastsign up for our mailing listAnd you can show your support to Sup Doc by donating on Patreon.

This week we're featuring the Echo Park Film Center. Paolo Davanzo joined us to represent the film center and give us some insight into this wonderful resource for downtown LA. Eighteen years in the making, Paolo and his band of cinematic enthusiasts offer classes on filmmaking (which are free for youth and elders), show films and are involved in many great projects, all in the name of film. Listen in to hear why the echo park film center is so successful in what it does. www.echoparkfilmcenter.org

I have no qualms about saying that I am 100% in favor of the Echo Park Film Center in every which way possible. Therefore this episode really needs no introduction. Please listen and support this amazing this wonderful place!

Read post online: Podcast: Echo Park Film Center’s Marvelous Movie Mondays Interview with Simon Tarr. Echo Park Forums interviews Simon Tarr, Filmmaker, Director of the Media Arts Program in University of Southern Carolina, and December's curator for Echo Park Film Center's Marvelous Movie Mondays. We discuss Simon, Film, and Echo Park Film Center. If something seemed off, view post online: Podcast: Echo Park Film Center’s Marvelous Movie Mondays Interview with Simon Tarr.

On this week's episode, we hang out with founders and fans of independent film gem, the Echo Park Film Center on the occasion of their 10th anniversary, and we review some lesser known work of a yellow press stalwart from 1940’s New York and L.A. Plus, a coda from the Baldwin Hills.

“It’s really hard for someone to get their head around what the Inglewood Oil Field is.” On this week’s Hear in the City we offer you part two in our series about oil extraction in the Baldwin Hills, and we help L.A. local-global micro cinema, the Echo Park Film Center, celebrate it’s 10th anniversary. Listen to KPFK, 90.7FM, Tuesday's at 3:30pm.

Hear in the City is back in the ether after a break. On this week's show, we hear about two very different urban places that are well worth visiting. Nearly two years after the Station Fire blazed through more than 160,000 acres of cottonwood, pine, and willow trees in the Angeles National Forest, architect and urban forester Holly Harper takes us on a tour of the slopes hit by the biggest fire in Los Angeles County's recorded history, which are surprisingly green now. Access to the forest is open for the first time since the fires-- in selected areas. And vanguard moving image arts organization L.A. Freewaves is on the move on MTA buses all across Los Angeles County. We talk to executive director, Anne Bray, about the collaboration between Public Matters, The Echo Park Film Center, UCLA REMAP, and L.A. Freewaves to take over the Transit T.V. screens on 2,200 buses for the week of June 13th-June 19th with original place-based video and film projects made by youth in Los Angeles.

Recorded on at Echo Park Film Center on my (Sean's) birthday back in December, Episode 25 is a personal favorite. We lay into Tim Burtons beyond lackluster "Planet of The Apes" remake. As I say early on, it was quite a missed opportunity. If you have doubts, listen to this and go watch the original! Enjoy!  imdb: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0133152/ buy on Amazon....But, really...Dont. http://www.amazon.com/Planet-Apes-Mark-Wahlberg/dp/B00003CXXV
