Adam Bhala
Lough’s BOMB THE SYSTEM gets it’s World Premiere Wednesday, May 7 at
6:30pm at the UA 10 and then rescreens on Friday May 9 at 4:00pm. From the
Festival guide: “Bhala Lough, 23, immerses us in the frenetic and often
dangerous world of New York graffiti artists in his impressive feature debut.
Blest and his crew are the best street artists in town, which makes them a prime
target for Bobby Cox and the infamous NYPD Vandal Squad. After a fatal accident
threatens to break up the crew and convinces Blest he needs to leave town for
good, a violent clash is inevitable. Who will come out on top?”

A new
cut of Tony Silver’s STYLE WARS (which originally came out in 1982)
screens on Saturday May 10 at 10:30pm at the UA 5 and then again on Sunday the
May 11 at 11:30 in the morning at The Screening Room.  Here’s how it’s being
described in the festival guide: “The story of the epic battles between New
York’s original subway graffiti artists and the mayor, police, MTA, and each
other during the original emergence of hip-hop and b-boys from the streets of
the Bronx and Harlem. This seminal documentary won awards at film festivals
around the world upon its original release. Now, on its 20th anniversary, see it
with new sound, never-before-seen outtakes, and updated interviews.”
