Rubble kings

A documentary film by Shan Nicholson, USA, 2010


Rubble kings documents the courageous movements that combated the widespread gang scene in New York during the late sixties and early seventies and provided the inspiration for Walter Hill’s cult classic The Warriors. Outside of the civil rights movement, people fought for their rights in the street. From the eventual end of these violent times came the birth of a new cultural movement, hip-hop. Nicholson delicately documents a world-changing era that spread a beat from the streets of New York around the globe and brought the city out of an era of gang violence.

Mur murs

Directed by Agnes Varda, France-USA, 1981

Les murs peints de Los Angeles reflètent toute une civilisation. « En 1980, j'ai fait Mur, murs, un vrai documentaire, pour découvrir une ville et ses habitudes, ses couleurs et leurs mots. Un portrait de la cité à travers ses murs. J'ai voulu le film ensoleillé, coloré et surprenant comme un collage spectaculaire même si cette cité exprime beaucoup d'anxiété et une recherche confuse de sa propre identité ». Agnès Varda
