<\/div>\n

There is perhaps no photographer who captured the Eighties and Nineties hip-hop<\/a> scenes in New York better than Ricky Powell.<\/p>\n

Known best for his working relationship with the Beastie Boys<\/a>, Powell was a prolific shooter who captured iconic images of Run-DMC<\/a>, Madonna<\/a>, Eric B and Rakim, Laurence Fishburne, Keith Haring, Andy Warhol, Basquiat, Sofia Coppola, Vin Diesel and other icons of the downtown Manhattan scene for the better part of a decade. His photographs ran in the New York Times<\/em>, the Village Voice<\/em> and this very magazine, among others.<\/p>\n

Now, the camera turns on him: Powell will be the subject of a new documentary, Ricky Powell: The Individualist<\/em>, set to premiere at the We Are One Global Film Festival on Saturday, May 30th at 5:30 p.m. ET. Directed by Josh Swade, the film features archival photographs and footage shot by Powell himself along with interviews with Powell and some of his most well-known subjects.<\/p>\n

The We Are One Global Film Festival<\/a> is a 10-day digital event to be held exclusively on YouTube, premiering films that can\u2019t be shown in theaters at the moment due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Produced and organized by Tribeca Enterprises, the event will begin on May 29th and is a joint collaboration between some of the world\u2019s largest film festivals \u2014 including Cannes, Berlin and Venice \u2014 that have been canceled this year due to the coronavirus.<\/p>\n
