The Circuit

Still dusty AFI Village on top of the Arclight parking garage.  It officially opens on Friday.

One AFI FEST doc I'm anxious to see - "Public Enemy: Welcome to the Terror Dome."  There should be a good doc on hip hop's first huge rap group, something beyond another "Behind the Music."  Let's hope it delivers. AFI's Shaz Bennett detailed the film:

It's a world premiere covering the band from past to present - including footage they just shot in Japan about a month ago. The film charts their cultural significance on the rap world and their continuing impact on music and politics.

What most interested me personally is that the documentary interviews the Beastie Boys, Tom Morello (Audioslave, Rage Against the Machine), Henry Rollins, Talib Kweli and Jonathan Davis of Korn talking about the influence Public Enemy had on them.
