'A documentary film about a stencil artist's clandestine campaign to make his mark on the streets'
Roadsworth: Crossing the Line details a Montreal stencil artists clandestine campaign to make his mark on the city streets.
Hailed as an "artist's artist" by Wooster Collective, Roadsworth began to play with the language of the streets, overlaying city asphalt markings with his own images: a crosswalk becames a giant boot print, vines choked up traffic dividers, and electrical plugs filled parking spots. Each piece begged the question, Who owns public space?
As he is prosecuted at home and celebrated abroad, Roadsworth struggles to defend his work, define himself as an artist and address difficult questions about art and freedom of expression.

City should vote on whether to give him a grant that is retroactive. Keep it illegal without a grant. You don't want every idiot with a spray can and 2 cents talent making the city ugly. In this paticular case it's clear that this man's street art is something special and shouldn't be destroyed.
