Фильм о художнике — а заодно безумном Нью-Йорке 80-х, с его цветущим уличным искусством, легендарными ночными клубами и наводящей ужас эпидемией ВИЧ, которая унесла столько жизней. К 25 годам Кит Харинг был во всех журналах, а в 31 его не стало — зато после него осталось больше десяти тысяч произведений и бесчисленное количество сувенирных картинок, которые он сам и продавал.

This film tells Jean-Michel's story through exclusive interviews with his two sisters Lisane and Jeanine, who have never before agreed to be interviewed for a TV documentary. With striking candour, Basquiat's art dealers - including Larry Gagosian, Mary Boone and Bruno Bischofberger - as well as his most intimate friends, lovers and fellow artists, expose the cash, the drugs and the pernicious racism which Basquiat confronted on a daily basis. As historical tableaux, visual diaries of defiance or surfaces covered with hidden meanings, Basquiat's art remains the beating heart of this story.

A group of young lost rebellious outsiders are given a home in New York City by Emmy Award-winning fashion stylist, Patricia Field, and together take on the world, changing it forever. Field, has done a lot more than Sex and the City. She has spent several decades saving lives and giving hope to lost outsiders who society frowned upon--transsexuals, club kids, drag queens, gay teenagers, butch-dykes, people who needed to escape from their hometowns because they were never understood. This is the story of a close-knit unconventional family in New York that has single-handedly changed music and fashion for the world several times over. Toronto filmmaker, Mars Roberge, has spent a decade becoming one with them so that their story could be told. In doing so, he becomes part of their family.

A portrait of New York artist Keith Haring. The film looks to Haring as an artistic role model for his preternatural talent, of course, but also for his infectious lust for life that had him as committed to social activism and teaching children as to his latest painting.

The inevitable fat cigar between his fingers, the American actor, director and fine artist Dennis Hopper (1936) self-mockingly looks back on his chequered life and career, at the request of Dutch director, photographer and fine artist Thom Hoffman. The latter sifted through the turbulent life story of Hopper, who is primarily known from the cult film Easy Rider (1969). Hopper went through as many high as low points. In conveniently arranged chapters, Hoffman shows the decisive moments in Hopper's life and asks colleagues like Wim Wenders, David Lynch, Sean Penn and Julian Schnabel to comment on them. The documentary is richly illustrated with film excerpts, photos, newspaper articles and anecdotes. The main reason for this film was the retrospective of Dennis Hopper's art work in the Amsterdam Stedelijk Museum in 2001.

Looks like an alien, sings like a diva - Klaus Nomi was one of the 1980s' most profoundly bizarre characters to emerge through rock music: a counter tenor who sang pop music like opera and brought opera to club audiences and made them like it. The Nomi Song is a film about fame, death, friendship, betrayal, opera, and the greatest New Wave rock star that never was!

Не многие народы могут похвастаться тем, что из них вышли художники, перевернувшие все представления современников о том, какой должна быть живопись. Казимир Малевич в России… Сальвадор Дали в Испании… А в Америке? В Америке был Джексон Поллок (1912-1956). Человек трагической судьбы, этот необузданный гений за несколько лет совершил революцию в абстракционизме. Его талант открыла в 1941 году художница Ли Краснер, впоследствии ставшая его подругой жизни. Увы, их счастье было недолгим: внутренние демоны, терзавшие душу Поллока, толкали его на путь саморазрушения. В итоге, он прожил потрясающе яркую, но короткую жизнь. Жизнь, которой и посвящен этот фильм.
