Infamy (2006)

Wed, 13 Jun 2007 06:51:42 -0400

Take an intense journey into the dangerous lives and obsessed minds of six of America’s most prolific graffiti artists. Directed by acclaimed filmmaker Doug Pray (Hype! and Scratch) who teamed up with writer, publisher, and graffiti guru Roger Gastman, the movie takes you deep into the world of street legends Saber, Toomer, Jase, Claw, Earsnot and Enem. With brutal honesty, humor and charisma, these artists reveal why they are so willing to risk everything to spray paint their cities with "tags," "throwups" and full-color murals. You'll also meet Joe "The Graffiti Guerilla" Connolly, a notorious "buffer" who paints out graffiti on his neighborhood's walls with a vengeance matched only by those who vandalized them. From the streets of the South Bronx to the solitude of a San Francisco tunnel, from high atop a Hollywood billboard to North Philadelphia for a lesson in "Philly-style tags," from the Mexican border to a Cleveland train yard, Infamy doesn't analyze or glorify graffiti... it takes you there and brings it to life.

Resistencia: Hip Hop in Colombia - Colombian Paramilitary OPs

Fri, 05 Aug 2005 02:21:30 -0400

Resistencia: Hip Hop in Colombia is a thought-provoking exploration of how young Colombians feel about the crisis afflicting their country. The film follows a summer in the lives of some of Colombia's finest rappers, DJs and breakdancers. The film serves as an introduction to Colombia's 40 year-old civil war, as seen through the eyes of those directly affected by it. It also gives an intimate insight into life in the barrios of a very volatile country, and how traditional latino music is losing out to rap music. Entertaining, committed and enlightening, Resistencia offers a street level interpretation of current affairs in Colombia. 'Resistencia: Hip Hop in Colombia may be too gritty to ever make it to MTV, but it shows with jolting immediacy how hip hop is as vital and relevant to Colombia's street culture as it was to urban African-Americans before it was co-opted by the mass media and mainstream artists'. -Lael Loewenstein, Variety magazine Resistencia won Best Music Film at the Portobello Film Festival, Best Foreign Film at the HBO Urban World Film Festival, the Special Jury Prize at the Bogota International Film Festival, and received an Honorary Mention as Best Documentary at the Oakland Film Festival.
