Charlie Ahearn "Wild Style"
This event has ended.
At Film Forum
Media: Film
(1983) Elusive graffitist Zoro (legendary artist Lee Quinones) has the South Bronx and the whole NYC subway system for a canvas, but fame threatens to blow his cover. Indie filmmaker Charlie Ahearn captured the very early days of Hip Hop in near-documentary style, casting real (and now-pioneer) DJs, MCs, graffiti artists, breakdancers, and rappers. With appearances by Fab Five Freddy, Grandmaster Flash, Grand Wizard Theodore, Busy Bee, Cold Crush, and Rock Steady Crew, climaxing in a raucous impromptu East River Park concert (filmed without permits!). Plus Ahearn’s short Bongo Barbershop (2005): a Tanzanian finds authentic Hip Hop in a Bronx tonsorial parlor.
Director Charlie Ahearn & surprise guests in person at 10pm screenings of Wild Style on Friday and Saturday, November 14 & 15. Ahearn will sign copies of his lavish new book, Wild Style The Sampler, in the Film Forum lobby beginning at 9pm.
