Tangier Tree House
USA 93 min.
Filmmaker Jon Reiss offers a multilingual look at the evolution of graffiti in a documentary that begins by examining ancient rock paintings, and traces the trend straight through to the works of Picasso and 1970s-era New York City hip-hop culture. Shot on five continents using guerilla filmmaking techniques, Bomb It aims to give viewers a newfound appreciation of graffiti culture by exploring the origins of street art and interviewing the artists about their tactics and motivations.
