Synopsis
The film is a self-produced documentary about Italian street art. In this documentary there are interviews to writers and art critics, artists at work, with focuses on specific painted walls in many Italian cities.
Like U.S.A., street art in Italy has had a deep link with hip hop culture since ‘80s. This tendency mixed with Italian muralism, that has an important tradition. Unlike U.S.A., street art In Italy has been an argument of modest interest for art critics and historians, being mostly analysed by sociologists (as a vandalic phenomenon and expression of social unease) and bloggers.
In recent years – and mostly in 2014 – the Italian scene changed, and street art started being used for requalification of critical urban areas and peripheries. Several festival and important projects developed along the whole country, like FAME Festival in Grottaglie (Taranto), M.U.Ro. and SanBa in Rome, Picturin and B.Art in Turin, etc. with the participation of international artists as Blu, Millo, Alice Pasquini, Vhils, Ron English and Liquen. This documentary is meant as a research to explore all these aspects, still underrated.
