Abramorama has acquired the global theatrical rights — with the exception of the U.K. and Ireland — and direct-to-consumers rights to “Getting It Back: The Story of Cymande,” the award-winning music documentary directed by Tim MacKenzie-Smith. Abramorama will launch its U.S. and Canadian theatrical release in early April, following its upcoming U.K. theatrical release.
“Abramorama is honored to bring Tim MacKenzie-Smith’s heartfelt documentary about the band Cymande to fans around the world. Their music has influenced artists of all genres and is as impactful today as it was when first released. Cymande continues to reach new fans and I think 2024 is going to be a huge year for the band, with sold out concerts around the world, a new record coming out soon, and the global release of their documentary,” Abramorama’s president and head of international distribution Evan Saxon said in a statement.

Cymande was an early ‘70s group of Black British musicians who released three albums, split in 1975 and largely faded from view — until years later when, in a now-familiar story, their records began being sampled by hip-hop, house, drum n’ bass and other DJs and producers. The Fugees’ “The Score,” Wu-Tang Clan’s “Problems,” De La Soul’s “Change in Speak,” Epmd’s “U Got Shot” and many others have used elements from their songs.
Now, the group is back in a big way, with a documentary, reissues of their albums and even several upcoming gigs at the South by Southwest conference next week — dates, times and details are below.
Such artists, DJs and producers as Mark Ronson, Kool DJ Red Alert, DJ Maseo of De La Soul, My Morning Jacket’s Jim James and Louie Vega all appear in “Getting It Back: The Story Of Cymande,” which was directed by...

The London Short Film Festival served up a selection of mostly depressing fare. So why so few funny films?
Just over a year ago my friend Tim Mackenzie-Smith asked me to make a brief appearance in a short film he was making. The story was a simple one: an everyday bloke, Stephen Mann (Ryan Philpott), down on his luck and trying to get to an all-important job interview finds London ganging up on him and trying to thwart him in the guise of transport problems, hoodies trying to mug him, weirdos hassling him ("It's called Paruresis – when you can't piss in public") and various other mishaps.
It sounded amusing yet plausible, everyone has faced some kind of situation where they are late for an important event and then it seems the world is against them. I happily agreed, and it was an exciting and enlightening experience seeing how a film is actually made,...
