Chicago Premiere
with filmmaker Jon Reiss

BOMB IT

A guerilla look at contemporary graffiti around the globe, Bomb It spans five continents to capture graffiti writers and street artists in action, tracing its history from ancient rock paintings to its current incarnation on the street, in galleries, and its influence on popular culture. Graffiti has always been shrouded in controversy, and as integral to this story are anti-tagging groups and an integral part of this story are anti-tagging groups and New York City's infamous "Quality of Life" laws. Artists and writers speak eloquently about the concept of public space and the reasons they risk incarceration and death to emblazon their tags. Whatever your point of view, graffiti is a fascinating and radical movement that defies definition except as a voice demanding to be heard.

Directed by Jon Reiss, U.S.A., 2007, BetaSP, 94 mins. In English, French, German, Japanese, Portuguese, and Spanish with English subtitles

Cinechat: Filmmaker Jon Reiss will be here in person for a Q&A after the 7 & 9 p.m. screenings on Saturday, April 26.
