Toronto, N.Y. in B-boy film showdown Two movies with one theme battle to become definitive documentary on breakdancing culture May 25, 2008 Susan Walker Entertainment Reporter A battle of the b-boy documentaries is shaping up and it seems to call for a breakdance faceoff between Toronto and New York. Toronto-born, New York-based filmmaker Benson Lee brought his Planet B-Boy documentary to Hot Docs last month and got up the nose of the Toronto crew Supernaturalz when the New Yorker, accompanied by a Manhattan b-boy, tried to co-opt them into a mini-battle at Circa nightclub. It's only natural in the very competitive landscape of b-boying, graffiti drawing, emceeing and dj-ing that Lee's documentary Planet B-Boy, opening Friday, would spark rivalry from Toronto dancers supporting a local documentary All Out War, now in post-production. Lee's doc is the first to chronicle the contemporary b-boy world with complete coverage of the supreme international competition, Battle of the Year. He profiles champion b-boys in Las Vegas, Korea, Japan and France to give a global view of the best b-boying and the socio/political/familial context for it. Local filmmaker and media artist Rob Pilichowski has been working on All Out War since March 2003. His documentary traces the history of breakdancing and follows four dancers based in Toronto and New York. Alien Ness, a 44-year-old, original break-boy from the Bronx, provides some background. He is featured in the film alongside Dyzee, from the Toronto crew Supernaturalz; Casper, an up-and-coming b-boy, and Machine, both of whom sometimes "repp" Zulu Kingz, a Bronx crew. The two films are quite different in style and substance, but share a common narrative. As the story is frequently told, breakdancing began in the late '60s and early '70s in the Bronx, where the break-boys battled on the streets and in neighbourhood clubhouses. The form is linked to martial arts and resistance-type dances such as capoeira. The breaks are the rhythmic and percussive sections of songs – interludes in the main melody. DJs would strip out the breaks and put them in a loop for the dancers. James Brown gets credit for inspiring the dance style. The music still preferred by hardcore breakers is funk, soul or hip hop with a more positive or older vibe. B-boy history is oral and much contested. Some observers claim breakdancing grew out of the hip hop movement. The dancers themselves say hip hop tried to usurp them. When the music and the dance moves became commercialized in the 1980s, true b-boys went underground. Benson Lee points out the effect of the 1983 movie Flashdance on bringing breakdancing into the public realm. His chroniclers insist that beat-boys (no relation to the Doobie Brothers' song) is the right derivation for b-boys. Most Toronto dancers would say they are break-boys or girls. Breakdancing became associated with inner city ghettos, says Lee. He's a Korean-American who was born in Toronto and lived here until he was 9. At the University of Hawaii, he got into film and earned his first producer credit on Miss Monday, a dramatic feature that opened at the Sundance Festival. The overriding fantasy figures were gangs and pimps, Lee says of early b-boying. "They emulated the fighting and that's how this dance started out." Breakdancing, he says, became a way "to promote peace, love and unity. They found ways to battle without hurting each other." There's this fantasy world associated with hip hop, says a b-boy standing amid highrises in a housing project in All Out War (alloutwar.tv). It's about "that need to be somebody. You're backed up in a corner and your dreams are really shattered. You've got nothing to inspire you, then you find something that's really going to move you to the core: you're gonna dance. "But it's really easy for some ghetto kid to come out and say `I got bodyguards; I got two big cars.' It's that desperation. It's that need to be somebody." One of Lee's on-screen authorities is Ken Swift, a legendary b-boy from New York City. Lee calls him "the Baryshnikov of b-boys." He's in his early 40s now. Planet B-Boy points out the Latino influence (mainly from Puerto Ricans) on the dance styles and then goes out into the world – using some fancy graffiti art graphics to shift scenes with a moving train image – to see the cream of the crop in France (B-boy Claude), Korea (top dancers Gamblerz), Japan (Ichigeki crew) and Las Vegas (Super Crew). The movie hints at a certain resentment among American b-boys who have lately been eclipsed in the Battle of the Year competition by crews from Japan, Korea, Germany and France. But it's all friendly, Lee insists. "Hip hop has evolved to the point where it's uniting generations." Rivalry between filmmakers is merely picking up on the competitive spirit of the breakdance genre, Pilichowski says. "You'll get different perspectives from different artists. Having more than one film on one genre is a good thing for the culture." He hopes to have All Out War entered in film festivals by the end of this year. Planet B-Boy, opening on college campuses and in about 25 North American cities, is out to set the record straight with some thrilling footage that spreads the gospel according to break/beat boys. No word yet on a battle of the b-boy film crews.
