Unless you are 12-years-old or completely devoid of hip-hop knowledge then you know that Style Wars is the go to documentary on early 1980’s NYC street culture.
Unfortunately over time the film’s 16mm negatives have begun to decay in storage. In order to return the film to it’s original glory by transferring each frame to full HD 1080p The Style Wars Restoration fund will kick off its fundraising efforts on September 9th with an event at BAM.
There will be three screenings (4:40pm, 6:50pm and 9:15pm) of Style Wars and a catered reception in addition to plenty of graffiti masters, B-boys and other special guests!
In addition, canvases by the legendary graffiti kings, courtesy of “The Legends of Style”, will be hung at the reception, and DJ Kay Slay will be on the turntables.
I’m not sure how relevant this is to kuhvet.com readers but I thought it was pretty interesting. Besides Chris Rock is one of the funniest people on the planet so even if you have no idea what bad or good hair, there will still be laughs for you. The film hits theatres in October.
