When director Tony Silver & co-producer Henry Chalfant delivered the broadcast version of their prize-winning film to PBS in 1983, the world received its first full immersion in the phenomenon that had taken over New York City. The urban landscape was physically transformed by graffiti artists who invented a new visual language to express both their individuality, and the voice of their community.

Terrible Taste (118 movies items)

"Full disclosure, I don’t like New York or atleast the places I’ve been there, Queens, Manhattan and Brooklyn. I’m like oh this is Time Square am I supposed to be excited?! The place is a concrete jungle but it does make for some pretty good films. "

"1.2 Truth is stranger than fiction man. This doc has 1980's retro grime. Was so surprised and glad to hear the origin of a sample from Radio Dept's Never Follow Suit. That's when I knew I was in the right place. "
