Graffiti.. It’s all around us. On the walls, on the trains, on buildings and on bridges, you name it! This documentary gives you a look at the rise of the global street art movement. The project is called ‘See No Evil’ and is organised by Inkie, Team Love and Weapon of Choice with the support of Bristol City Council and Nelson Street’s building owners. In August this year the city Bristol, England hosted this event to decorate the grey and boring looking part of town, even more accurately ‘Nelson Street’, to stimulate creativity and create colour.
The documentary consists of lots and lots of art, interviews with well known street artists and some thumping sounds. The city of Bristol is a main subject in this documentary. Reflection of the history of Bristol’s art scene, mixed up with today’s art scene. Artists who sprayed the towns in colours in the early days, are also attending the project ‘See No Evil’. Between images from the history or the shots made during the event, the artists tell you what happened back then, what has changed now and what this events means for them and for the future. A few examples of some artists are: Inkie, Tats Cru, El Mac, Nick Walker and the list goes on! They used over the course of a week, 13.400 cans of spray paint, to create, up to 10 stories high, huge murals. The documentary itself is shot with different filming techniques like time lapse photography, cable dollys and polecams to capture the transformation.
The project reflects the great side of street art, the history of street art and the people behind street art. It’s not about messing up walls or buildings, it’s about creating art together, with creativity and colours.
