"Havanyork"(Dir. Luciano Larobina. Mexico, 2009) is an imaginary–borderless space where a dialogue connects two worlds which explores the evolution of two parallel realities in a common artistic movement: hip hop. Luciano Larobina's documentary achievement resides in the comparative perspective he makes from New York to Havana. One of the most interesting contributions of the film resides in the interviews collected from 70's and 80's founders of the New York hip hop movement like The Fantastic Aleems, DJ Tony Tone from the "Wild Style" movement, The Last Poets, Dani Hoch, Afrika Bamabata, and others, as well as the reflection Cuban hip hop musicians make on their own work particularly on the concept of revolution.

Synopsis:
The rebellious and contestatory discourse of the musicians portrayed in HavanaYork invites us to reflect on counterculture and the parallel realities that arise in every government system. The dreams, the family, the barrio, the city, life, war, and politics are some of the themes that permeate their music and nourish the film's message. The camera portrays, with a participatory vision, the reflections that the musicians of both cities have expressed in relation to their roots, the evolution of the drum, and to the soul of Hip Hop.
