We received an email earlier from the promotional company behind critically acclaimed street art video BOMB IT. It turns out that from this Friday (11th September), BOMB IT will be available for free on video website BabelGum.com.
“New York / London (September 8th, 2009) Independent web and mobile video content platform Babelgum will offer director John Reiss’ film documentary about the history of the international graffiti scene, BOMB IT, free-to-view online exclusively on Babelgum’s site. The full-length documentary, which premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival and has screened at over 20 other festivals including Full Frame Doc Fest, will be available to watch on Babelgum’s Metropolis Channel, which is dedicated to showcasing videos about art, urban culture and trends, September 11th.
Named one of Daily Variety’s “Ten Digital Directors To Watch” John Reiss’s BOMB IT tells the story of graffiti through interviews and guerilla footage of graffiti writers in action following the movement as it paints the globe from Paris to Sao Paolo and Los Angeles to Cape Town. Featuring old school legends and current favorites such as Taki 183, Cornbread, Stay High 149, T-Kid, Cope 2, Zephyr, Revs, Os Gemeos, KET, Chino, Shepard Fairey, Revok, and Mear One. This cutting edge documentary tracks down today’s most innovative and pervasive street artists as they battle for control over the urban visual landscape.”
It’s certainly a film I’ll be checking out on it’s release on Babelgum this Friday!
