If you’re not winning and you’re not crashing, you’re not trying HARD ENOUGH!
Jimmy Trash has finally released his 2019 documentary ‘Hard Enough’, a film uncovering the link between a difficult family history, the pressure he felt to be a professional racer and the untold story of the Golden Era of Australian dirt track racing. We sat down with him to tell us about the making of the film.
So, first of all, what gave you the inspiration to make a film about sprint car racing? What was your initial approach?
I just wanted to make a second film with my mentor, Mario Bucci about this dirty, egomaniac and untold story of Sprint Car racing. But as soon as we started shooting, I realised it had to be about my father and I as well, which demanded lot deeper involvement than i imagined at first.
How did the making of the film affect your family?
The film forced me to understand the world my father was saturated in for most of his lifetime that he lived parallel to his family life. And in turn he had to explain things about his own life that he never had to explain to anybody before about competition, addiction and fanaticism. Understanding his fanaticism helped me understand parts of my own personality as well. In the end it was healing after a difficult process.
Why did more than two years pass by until the release of ‘Hard Enough’?
Hard Enough was my second film and the first one where i had the chance of a possible sale. I was completely naive to the process and fought two years with contract disagreements. But in the end it was more important to me that people see these unique perspectives of the old generation of racers that we managed to get together in this film and prove that they have a vulnerable side. I’m hoping to learn from my mistakes and sell my third film that is currently in pre-production.

Charlie Megira documentary ‘Tomorrow’s Gone’ screening at the 2021 Miami Jewish Film Festival
It is our pleasure to share an upcoming worldwide screening event of Tomorrow’s Gone, the 2019 documentary film about Charlie Megira directed by his long time friend Boaz Goldberg. The film documents the struggles of Charlie Megira (born Gabi Abudraham) from a friend’s point of view using personal, behind-the-scenes footage. This is great news for those who are fascinated by the mysterious persona of Charlie Megira because so far there has been very little to actually know about him (by the way, we had the honour to interview him in 2014, check that out here)
So, if you are a fan of the otherworldly music of Charlie Megira, join us online at the Miami Jewish Film Festival from 15-29 April.
Free tickets are available for pre-order at the festival’s website. The virtual screening offers English subtitles and you are welcome to donate money to support the festival.

After fall of the Acid House
here are the pioneers of Acid Basement. With a special taste of Anarcho-Jazz. And a little Melt-Banana feeling. Sometimes like a Japanese noise „rock” brigade from the 80s. Miraculous muddle by Guerilla Toss

During the listening read the list of fake jazz song titles!

„Sur le toit” i.e. On The Rooftops. It’s a very special album by two French musicians King Automatic and Mr. Verdun. King Automatic is a rock and roll one-man band, Mr. Verdun is from the folk punk duo Thee Verduns. They have written music for a real film noir, a documentary about French prison mutinies in the early 70s. Plain, cold and dark ballades, sometimes in Western style, some of them are like instrumental Tom Waits’ songs. Down by French law

After a bloody hostage-taking in the end of 1971 at Clairvaux Prison* all prisoners got general punishment in France. It led to a mutiny in Nancy in January. The prisoners protested against the cruel treatment, the harsh conditions, and sudden removal of the Christmas packages. They weren’t real criminals, rather poor and desperate young men without future, who were incarcerated owing to petit crimes. They occupied the building – which is the centre of the city – and went up to the rooftops, from where they held the connection with the outside world. Outside the gate an organization for the penalty reform led by philosopher Michel Foucault and other intellectuals tried to intervene on behalf of them. The revolt was put down, but it evoked over thirty riots at other prisons.
*Clairvaux Prison lays on the site of the former Cistercian Abbey. It was turned into prison by the Revolution which demolished the Bastille.
Rock’n’Roll Niggers
„The Rock and Roll Nigger Experience” was the original title of AFROPUNK documentary. The film follows the lives of four people who have dedicated themselves to the punk rock lifestyles. They find themselves in conflicting situations, living the dual life of a person of color in a mostly white community.
„The lifestyle is pretty much trying to make reality of your angst against society.”
„My mother wouldn’t go like shopping with me.”
featuring members of Bad Brains, B-52’s, Cro-Mags, Dead Kennedys, Dirtbombs, Fishbone and many more young punk and hardcore bands
But Afropunk is not only a documentary, it’s a community.
