Rough, raw and unapologetically inspirational, filmmaker Antonino D’Ambrosio’s Let Fury Have the Hour is a lively social history that chronicles how creative-response is an antidote to the cynicism that dominates today’s culture. An exuberant, mixed media collage that incorporates graphic art, music, animation, and spoken word, the film spans three decades of transformation bringing together over 50 artists, writers, musicians and activists (including Eve Ensler, Lewis Black, John Sayles, Shepard Fairey, Chuck D, Tom Morello, Edwidge Danticat, Van Jones, Hari Kunzru, Billy Bragg, Wayne Kramer, Ian MacKaye ), all of whom attest to the fact that we can re-imagine the world we live in and take an active role in making that vision a reality.
The poster is 18 x 24 inch screen print. Signed by Shepard Fairey and Antonino D’ambrosio. Numbered edition of 450. A portion of proceeds go to the La Lutta Creative Response Think Tank.LET FURY HAVE THE HOUR is a must see! I was lucky enough to be involved in this film on a couple levels. I worked on the art and titles, and I’m interviewed in the film alongside heroes like Chuck D, Wayne Kramer, Tom Morello, and Ian MacKaye. The film is about creative response to social issues as embodied by the Clash, spanning music, art, writing, and philosophy. The film asks “what kind of world do you want to live in?” and I’d answer… one where a lot of people see a film like this and get inspired to pursue their own form of creative activism. Get into it, get involved, go see the movie, shape the world!-Shepard Fairey
