Bomb It!

Many of the artist/activists out there causing a rukus in the world use graffiti or street art as a means to convey their message. This is certainly true for many of the artists involved in the Yo! What Happened to Peace? show (just see the post a few down). Well, there's a new film out about some of the most legendary writers/artists out there:

Award winning director Jon Reiss' new documentary, Bomb It, a global graffiti film, comes to LA for its theatrical debut the first weekend in June (Laemmle's Sunset 5). Reiss traveled to 5 continents and interviewed almost 200 artists - personalities such as Cornbread, Lady Pink, KRS One, Shepard Fairey, Os Gemeos, and others share their lives with the camera. Globally comprehensive as well as politically relevant, "At the core of the film is a poignant social statement about public space and the war being waged for it" (IGN.com). The myriad complexities regarding public space were explored in New York, Philadelphia, London, Paris, Amsterdam, Hamburg, Barcelona, Berlin, Cape Town, São Paulo, and Tokyo, and Los Angeles.

Bomb It's Los Angeles Theatrical Engagement:
Fri. June 6 - Thu. June 12
