	Scratch
	Dirs. Doug Pray/Bonner Bellow US 2001 Scratch is a feature-length documentary film that explores the world of the hip-hop DJ. From the birth of hip-hop, when pioneering DJ's began extending breaks on their party records (which helped inspire break dancing and rap), to the invention of scratching and "beat-juggling" vinyl, to its recent explosion in the form of a genuine musical movement called "turntablism," it's a story of unknown underdogs and serious turntable virtuosos who have radically changed the way we hear, play and create music. The film features dynamic performances and interviews with DJ's Qbert, Rob Swift and the X-ecutioners, Steve Dee, Cut Chemist & NuMark (of Jurassic 5), DJ Craze, The Bullet Proof Scratch Hamsters, The Beat Junkies (including Babu of Dilated Peoples), Z-trip, DJ Premier (Gang Starr), DJ Swamp (Beck), MixMasterMike (Beastie Boys), and many others, along with "old-school" innovators Afrika Bambaataa, Grand Mixer DXT, Jazzy Jay and Grand Wizard Theodore (who is widely acknowledged as having invented the idea of scratching vinyl in the first place). (87m)
