Dallas Videofest 2009 - Blank City
November 7
106 min.
A tribute to unique individuals during the mid '70s No Wave movement of retreating art away from the establishment, Filmmakers Amos Poe, Nick Zedd, and Jim Jarmusch describe how someone in the Village came into a bunch of cameras and sold them to locals, inspiring many to take up filmmaking. The films are raw and the cameras hand-held. Look for a young Vincent Gallo, Julien Schnabel, and Steve Buscemi; also Fab Five Freddy, Andy Warhol, and Basquiat, whose success killed the movement.
