Alexandra Henry’s documentary juxtaposes the personal experiences of three emerging Latina street artists as they navigate a male-dominated subculture to establish artistic identities within chaotic urban landscapes: Toofly, born in Ecuador and raised in Queens, NY; Fusca, a talented painter who moved to Mexico City inspired by its embrace of all things artistic; and Magrela who expresses her feelings on the complexities of being a woman through vibrant colors and radical imagery painted across São Paulo’s walls. Punctuated by historical anecdotes from such pioneering artists as Lady Pink, Nina Pandolfo and Lady Aiko, Street Heroines captures the collective outcry of female street artists from around the world.
Through interviews and guerilla footage of graffiti writers in action on five continents, the documentary tells the story of graffiti from its origins in prehistoric cave paintings thru its notorious explosion in New York City during the 70’s and 80’s, then follows the flames as they paint the globe.
스타일워는 1983년에 만들어진 다큐멘터리 필름이다. 시기가 시기인 만큼 힙합이 처음 생겨난 직후 문화적으로 여러 분야가 구축되고 하나의 ‘현상’을 넘어서는 과정을 보여주고 있다. 그래피티가 많은 부분을 차지하면서도 그래피티가 디제잉이나 래핑, 비보잉과 어떠한 연결고리를 지니는지도 놓치지 않는다. 당대 내로라하는 그래피티아티스트가 총출동했고 당시의 유행도 간접경험해볼 수 있다. 그래피티에 대한 존중을 담은, 힙합 초창기의 선구적인 작품이다.
Legendary New York graffiti artist Lee Quinones plays the part of Zoro, the city's hottest and most elusive graffiti writer. The actual story of the movie concerns the tension between Zoro's passion for his art and his personal life, particularly his strained relationship with fellow artist Rose.
