Graffiti Documentary: INFAMY
INFAMY at the Egyptian Theatre October 1st 8PM
Acclaimed documentarian Doug Pray has twice investigated the ways and
mores of musical subcultures, tracking the explosion of the Seattle music
scene in Hype! and the rise of the hip-hop DJ in Scratch.
Without seeking to glorify graffiti or chronicle its history, Pray turns to this
ubiquitous form of visual street culture with Infamy, traveling into the
lives and minds of seven people obsessed with graffiti in all its forms, from
simple vandalism, tagging and "throw-ups" to publicly sanctioned large
productions and murals. Shot primarily in New York City, Philadelphia, San
Francisco and Los Angeles, the film offers day-in-the-life segments with
highly regarded graffiti writers SABER, ENEM, CLAW, TOOMER, EARSNOT,
JASE, and Joe "the graffiti guerilla" Connolly. Infamy also features
numerous interviews and scenes with the friends, families and fellow crew
members of the film's central magnificent seven.
