When director Tony Silver and partner producer Henry Chalfant
delivered the broadcast version of their prize-winning film
to PBS in 1983,the world received its first full immersion
in the phenomenon that had taken over NewYork City. The urban
landscape was physically transformed by graffiti artists who
invented a new visual language to express both their individuality
and the voice of their community. In Style Wars, NY’s
ramshackle subway system is their public playground,
battleground and spectacular artistic canvas.
Style Wars has become an emblem of the original, embracing
the spirit of hip hop as it exploded into the world from underground
tunnels, uptown streets, clubs and playgrounds. The film has
is regarded by many as the definitive document of the emerging
hip hop culture, and the continuing struggle to keep its authentic
spirit alive.
