Esta película es ante todo un viaje. De Brooklyn a Abidjan, pasando por Mississippi, Puerto Rico y Haití. Un viaje sobre la búsqueda de la identidad del artista afroamericano contemporáneo más famoso y uno de los pintores más relevantes del siglo XX, Jean-Michel Basquiat. Sin embargo deviene un viaje paradójico, pues a pesar de sus raíces haitianas y puertorriqueñas, Basquiat apenas exploró el continente africano. Sin embargo, nunca dejó de soñar con ello, trascendiendo su “memoria cultural” para producir obras icónicas. Se dice demasiado poco: aunque el pintor se anticipó como ningún otro a la globalización del arte, sobre todo se enfrentó a una América plagada de racismo.

New York Conversations is a documentary made of varied conversations revolving around cinema in New York. These conversations give us the opportunity to sketch some of the bad boys and girls -directors, actors or producers of New York cinema, whether they be famous, anonymous or blossoming talents. Young and impetuous for most, they are watched over by a few veterans. All share this iron will to remain independent, out of choice but above all, out of necessity. The necessity to create at any cost. Shot with a Super8 camera, this documentary groups together 15 short conversations about film making, life, independence, art and...New York.

Joe Dallesandro embodies a certain form of American dream, thanks to his career launched by Andy Warhol, fascinated by his ephebe body. Revealed by Paul Morrissey in the trilogy "Flesh" (1968), "Trash" (1970) and "Heat" (1972), he established himself as an icon of underground cinema thanks to stripped roles, becoming the liberator of the male nudity in Cinema. The one who inspired the song "Walk on the Wild Side" to Lou Reed is now in his sixties, happy manager of a property close to Hollywood Boulevard. In his courtyard, seated on a low wall, he evokes with amusement and nostalgia his youth and his various collaborations with Warhol, Morrissey, Coppola, Waters, Breillat or Rivette.
