Metagraffiti trailer

Metagraffiti is a book/dvd that collects more than 20 short films from all over the world. With two long essays about graffitifilm and a running time of over 120 minutes Meta Graffiti is a vibrant testimony of the development of todays graffiti art. These short films are about and featuring graffiti. Humour and playfulness are in focus. These are films by people close to graffiti culture. Many of the film ease up the difference between graffiti and street art. Where street art has successfully used graffitis main communication space — the public place — the directors borrow from the constant ability to change that street art enjoys. The films of Metagraffiti certainly test the framework of graffiti, but maintain the important elements of style and mischief. As a medium, film is closer to other art forms rather than the wild, unkempt lettering jazz that the institutional art world discards.

ive bought it

i cant really describe it...the movie consists of ~20 small minifilms. its not all about graffiti. for example there is a small segment devoted to graffiti removal. then there is a segment of pictures of nature combined with abstracts.... another one about the ego perspective of a pen... overall every segment somehow touches graffiti but they do it in totaly different ways. i d say if you like graffiti and are not in search of the next adrenalinpumped actionflick: its worth it!
