Institute History
Description
Aotearoa hip-hop artist-turned-digital-filmmaker Dean Hapeta, aka Te Kupu, contributes to the evolution of the hip-hop form in this, his "rapumentary." Traveling from New York to Paris, Sydney to Kingston, and Ottawa to Colombia, Te Kupu explores the use of hip-hop as a medium for expression by the oppressed. From Indigenous assertations in Hawaii and Ottawa to land protests in Aotearoa, Te Kupu takes viewers to these differing lands and gives them access to musings and expressions they might not otherwise hear.

As you use our Online Archives, please understand that the information presented from Festivals, Labs, and other activities is taken directly from official publications from each year. While this information is limited and doesn't necessarily represent the full list of participants (e.g. actors and crew), it is the list given to us by the main film/play/project contact at the time, based on the space restrictions of our publications. Each entry in the Online Archives is meant as a historical record of a particular film, play, or project at the time of its involvement with Sundance Institute. For this reason, we can only amend an entry if a name is misspelled, or if the entry does not correctly reflect the original publication.
