Rockers, , Carayol Seb, Hulsey Cherry Karou

Beyond Bafaloukos fascinating story of the making-of Rockers, it tells the tale of a Greek immigrant from a sheep herders family and his move to New York, eventually rubbing shoulders with the likes of The Velvet Underground, Robert Frank, Jessica Lange and Philippe Man on Wire Petit. But theres a twist to this 1970s New York story: Bafaloukos fell in love with reggae when it was still just an underground facet of Jamaican culture in the City. His experiences in New York eventually led him to shoot Rockers, praised for the portrait it paints of Kingstons late 70s music scene along with its unique style, mentality and fashion.

The directors intense experiences in Jamaica and New York between 75 - 78 provide the substance of the scorching stories within, including; gunshots at his first ever reggae concert in Brooklyn, the directors bizarre arrest for suspicion of being a CIA operative, paranoia at the Bob Marley compound, musicians-turned actors rude boy antics, and naturally, sympathetic, highly descriptive recollections of the music that first drew Bafaloukos into Jamaicas music and culture.
