Skee-Lo is the rapper who, on his debut single I Wish, dissed himself, so no one else could. Described by the Manila Standard as "a true rarity — a rap song that dares to express vulnerable sentiments while retaining a funky edge," Muzik called it "a ludicrous, dayglo, superfly wish-list from the self-depreciating and immediately likeable Skee-Lo." This little slice of '90s is bound to put a smile on your face.

Judy Garland and Van Johnson fall in love at the turn of the century in the delightful MGM classic In the Good Old Summertime (1949).
With able support from the comic delights Buster Keaton, S.Z. “Cuddles” Sakall and Spring Byington, it’s a romantic, nostalgic, comic, musical, Technicolor delight. Steve Hayes

Simmering hostility and prejudices boil over in Mathieu Kassovitz’s provocative and compelling portrait of a Parisian housing project.
Set in the aftermath of a riot, three friends – Vinz (Vincent Cassell), Hubert (Hubert Koundè) and Saïd (Saïd Taghmaoui) – trapped by their economic, ethnic and community circumstances, navigate the escalating urban discontent. But, with tensions still high and the threat of violence ever-present, the trio drift towards an increasingly dangerous destiny.
Newly restored in 4K, La Haine’s scalding take on France’s social divide still carries a knockout punch. Beautifully shot in black and white by Pierre Aïm, this mid-1990s landmark remains as fresh and relevant 25 years on from its original release. BFI

"This is the last piece of The Feeling and a gift to every incredible human that has made it what it’s become," VINCINT says of his new single and video Save Myself. "It’s a message that in the end after all the fights, long nights of sex, the crying, the laughing and the tears after all the mess you’re still in there and you’ve made it and the love you cultivated didn’t die it just became something more and made you stronger!"
His album, The Feeling, is out now.

After his mother’s sudden death, Socrates, a 15-year-old living on the margins of São Paulo’s coast, must survive on his own. As he faces isolation because of his sexuality, his search for a decent, worthy life reaches a breaking point.
Socrates is the debut feature film from Brazilian - American director Alexandre Moratto. It is the first feature produced by the Querô Institute in Brazil where it was co-written, produced, and acted by at-risk teenagers from local low-income communities, with the support of UNICEF.
