DESCRIPTION:CINE OF THE TIMES PRESENTS\n\n\nWALK HARD: THE DEWEY COX STORY 
	(2007)\n\n\nINCL. PRE-SHOW\n\nFor the next Cine of the Times\, film critic
	 Hugo Emmerzael and academic Dan\nHassler-Forest turn to Walk Hard: The De
	wey Cox Story\, Jake Kasdan’s 2007 satire\nthat took apart the music biopi
	c so thoroughly it should have killed the genre\nfor good.\n\nInstead\, Ho
	llywood doubled down. What began as a parody of films like Ray and\nWalk t
	he Line now feels strangely prophetic. From Bohemian Rhapsody and Elvis to
	\nBob Marley: One Love\, the music biopic has become one of Hollywood’s sa
	fest\nformulas: turning cultural icons into recognisable IP and complicate
	d lives into\nincreasingly familiar stories. Hugo and Dan ask how a genre 
	Walk Hard exposed\nalmost twenty years ago became more dominant than ever 
	— and what that tells us\nabout a film industry increasingly built around 
	selling us what we already know.\n\nThe screening opens with an extended i
	ntroduction from Hugo and Dan\, with\ncurated clips and context before the
	 film. They’ll continue the conversation in\na special supplementary episo
	de of LAB111’s Celebrating Cinema podcast\, recorded\nto accompany the scr
	eening.\n\nAbout the speakers:\n\nHugo Emmerzael is an Amsterdam-based fil
	m critic and curator\, editor at\nFilmkrant and Deputy Digital Editor of t
	he Locarno Pardo.\n\nDan Hassler-Forest is a media studies professor at Ut
	recht University whose work\nexamines popular culture through a political 
	lens.
