Info
Don Letts returns to Hot Box to celebrate 10 years of Hot Box.
Don Letts’ reputation has been established in both the film and music world by a substantial body of work from the late 70's through the 80's, 90’s and well into the millennium. His work has been exhibited in The Kitchen N.Y.C, the Institute of Contemporary Art, the NFT in London and was honored at Brooklyn’s BAM festival and the Milan Film Festival. In March 2003 he won a Grammy for his documentary Westway To The World.
He came to notoriety in the late 70's as the DJ that turned a generation of punks onto reggae. It was whilst as a DJ at the first punk club The Roxy in 1977 that he made his first film The Punk Rock Movie with Sex Pistols, The Clash and many others. This led to a period directing over 300 music videos for a diverse mix of artists ranging from Public Image to Bob Marley.
He then moved into documentary work making films on the likes of Gil Scott-Heron, The Jam, Sun Ra, The Clash and George Clinton. His most recent documentary was for Sir Paul McCartney’s New project. Feature films include the Jamaican movie 1997’s Dancehall Queen.
He currently presents a weekly radio show on BBC 6 Music called Culture Clash Radio and still DJs nationally and internationally.
