The Return of Style Wars: A Screening of Style Wars I & II And a Q&A with Producer, Henry Chalfant, and SKEME, a graffiti writer from the film STYLE WARS is regarded as the indispensable document of NY street culture and subway graffiti art of the early 80s, the filmic record of a golden age of youthful creativity that exploded into the world from a city in crisis. It won the Grand Prize for Documentaries at the 1983 Sundance Film Festival and continues to gain a following. 30 years later, Veli and Amos, two Style Wars fans from Europe, travel through todays graffiti and street art scene. The journey takes them from Europe to New York and ends in the Middle East. Style Wars 2 features encounters with graffiti artists and explores the idea of doing the wrong thing.
