Hip Hop revolutionised music but as you’ll discover in part 3 of our series – it also changed fashion forever. Hip Hop and fashion have been linked ever since the music started at the block parties in the Bronx in the 70s. As a voice for the marginalised, Hip Hop’s look mattered as much as its sound, partly as an expression of self-identity, partly as shorthand for success. In this episode we visit Harlem to meet the man who went from a fashion industry pariah for his head-to-toe designs that ripped off high end fashion labels to a Gucci god. Dapper Dan single handedly brought high fashion to the hood and helped put street fashion on catwalks around the world.

Since Hip Hop began it’s been very much a man’s world. In the second show of our series celebrating 50 years of this musical phenomenon, we look at the role women play in this cultural revolution. We meet one of today’s rising female stars from the Bronx, 19-year-old Kenzo B. With 1.8 million views on YouTube for her track 'Bump it' out last year, she's on her way to rap stardom.

This week we're celebrating 50 years since the birth of hip-hop. More than a musical genre, it’s a global phenomenon. Business, sport, fashion, politics – hip-hop influences it all. Our culture team has recorded a four-part series in New York and Paris to trace its journey from the streets of the Bronx in the 1970s to becoming the most popular and lucrative music genre in the world. In part one, our Culture Editor Eve Jackson meets the godfather of hip-hop, Grandmaster Flash, in his Bronx studio and we visit the world's first hip-hop museum that's set to open next year.

Film critic Emma Jones brings us highlights from the 80th edition of the Venice Film Festival. The strong lineup of potential Oscars contenders included Sofia Coppola's Priscilla Presley biopic and Yorgos Lanthimos's genre-defying "Poor Things", starring Emma Stone. Still, Emma reports that "La Mostra" felt somewhat less glamorous this year, overshadowed by the ongoing strikes in Hollywood and the presence of films from three established directors who've faced sexual abuse allegations.

In this episode of Encore, we visit the extraordinary immersive exhibition in Paris that shows you what it was like onboard the Titanic. Also on the programme, we explore the exhibitions at the 'Visa Pour L’Image' Photojournalism festival highlighting the climate crisis and we go on a tour of the Paris neighbourhood Montmartre with arguably the best tour guide ever.

Fifty years after he won the Palme d'Or for his Al Pacino-Gene Hackman road movie "Scarecrow", 96-year-old director Jerry Schatzberg speaks to film critic Lisa Nesselson at the Deauville American Film Festival, where he's receiving a tribute.

The Rolling Stones will release their first studio album of new music in 18 years next month, lead singer Mick Jagger said on Wednesday at a launch event at the Hackney Empire in east London. The new album, called "Hackney Diamonds", will be out on October 20. FRANCE 24's Jennifer Ben Brahim tells us more.

In this edition from the Deauville American Film Festival on the Normandy coast, we meet an actress who shot to world fame as the Queen of Dragons in the hit TV series "Game of Thrones". We've also seen her in the films "Me Before You", "Last Christmas" and "Solo: A Star Wars Story". Emilia Clarke sits down with Eve Jackson to discuss her new movie about a journey to parenthood like no other, “The Pod Generation”, the Hollywood strikes and what it means to receive the festival's rising star award.

The name Be Your Own Pet may ring a bell for avid fans of indie rock in the Noughties. Their meteoric rise saw the Nashville band, who were barely out of high school, tour the world intensely until they burnt out and disappeared for 15 years. Luckily, their love for music and playing together got the better of them and they reunited secretly a couple of years ago. They've just released their third album "Mommy" on Third Man Records and stopped by FRANCE 24 to tell us more.

FRANCE 24's Genie Godula, who's also the mistress of ceremonies, speaks to Eve Jackson about why the Deauville American Film Festival still rocks despite the absence of big stars like Jude Law and Natalie Portman because of the strikes in Hollywood.
