The life and work of New York artist Jean-Michel Basquiat have been marked by a long quest for identity, by his Haitian and Puerto Rican family origins and by a founding trip to Africa. To portray this major painter of the 20th century, who died in 1988 at only 27 years old, is also to evoke the place of black American artists in the conservative and racist America of the Reagan years.

"Basquiat: Genialidade e Loucura", reconta a trajetória de Jean-Michel Basquiat, considerado por muitos um gênio da arte urbana e um revolucionário da pintura neo-expressionista. Basquiat teve uma carreira curta e brilhante, apontado como um prodígio e um fenômeno. Descoberto por seus grafites no final de 1970 no Lower East Side, em Nova York, ele vendeu a primeira pintura por 200 dólares, se tornou o melhor amigo de Andy Warhol, e morreu com 27 anos deixando para trás milhares de obras que venderam em milhões. O documentário reúne diversos depoimentos de parentes e amigos, enquanto faz um passeio por Nova York. Como se fosse um diário da vida pública e privada de Basquiat, exibe várias obras desse pioneiro da arte contemporânea, descrito como um herói romântico típico de uma sociedade em declínio, um ícone da transição entre duas eras. Sua colaboração com Andy Warhol é retratada no filme, e suas múltiplas formas de expressão.

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.
