Highsnobiety columnist and Rad Collector editor Tim Brodhagen offers a comprehensive interview tackling the ins and outs of Street Dreams. From the beginning the star studded (by skate terms) team wanted to make a movie that Hollywood hadn’t – an authentic portrayal of street skating. Through the words of all involved, some exclusive video, and images, we are pleased to present our feature on Street Dreams.

We talked to Rob Dyrdek, Nino Scalia, Chris Zam, Jason Bergh, Sal Masekela, Paul Rodriguez and Terry Kennedy.

20 years before there was YouTube, and Macaca, Critical Mass arrest videos, and the RNC, Clayton Patterson was capturing video that exposed the struggle between community activists and the often abusive NYPD. He dedicated his life to documenting the final era of raw creativity and lawlessness in New York City’s Lower East Side, a neighborhood famed for art, music and revolutionary minds. Traversing the outside edge, he’s recorded this dark and colorful society–from drag and hardcore, heroin, homelessness, to political chaos and, ultimately, gentrification.In the LES of the late 70’s and early 80’s, it seemed that it was impossible to take a boring photograph.

Realizing this, Patterson vowed to himself not to miss a moment, and he was a ubiquitous presence on the streets, in bars, and at parties, shooting literally hundreds of thousands of photographs and countless videos that captured the essence of the era in what might have been the most thrilling neighborhood on earth. For native New Yorkers, looking at his documents is like staring through a window to our own past, and the drugs, piercings, mohawks, kangols and graffiti on display are, in this context, not kitschy and nostalgic. Rather, they express the rich diversity of many little communities living together in a troubled little niche of the city, long ago changed beyond recognition.
Captured will be shown this Friday, August 22 at the New Museum, Bowery, New York. Following the film, Clayton Patterson will be available for a Q&A. Event begins at 7:30.

Tracing graffiti’s history from Philadelphia through its increasingly international scope, director John Reiss’s Bomb It! is the most comprehensive street and spray paint art documentary to date. Artists ranging from the Tats Crew to Shepard Fairey, Blek Le Rat to Kid Acne, and Os Gemeos to Very One are represented. The result is a broad catch of graffiti across five continents, an exploration of how art colors and covers a range of spaces and environments.
Not to be exclusive to "pro" graffiti interests, Reiss also allows law makers who believe bombing is a problematic activity. These thoughts counter the ideas of the artists whose interviews reveal the impetus for their activities. Boredom at times, but also social agitation and political commentary drive the writers. They’re notions connect the art to the global scene, yet ground and localize each individual. There can be no denying the increased interest and reverence granted to street art in recent times. While not exclusive to "graffiti," street arts new position in the art world still requires some succinct definition, and films like Bomb It! serve to investigate the reasons and meanings behind a constantly evolving and mutating genre.
Bomb It! premiers in LA this coming Friday, June 6. Check out the flier after the jump. The Bomb It! site offers a break down of current and future screenings.
