About the event
Wild Style (1983). Directed by Charlie Ahearn. Starring Lee Quinones, Patti Astor, Lady Pink, Fab 5 Freddy.
A touchstone for hip-hop cinema, Wild Style helped introduce the nation to the beat that was taking over the Bronx and would eventually become a global cultural force. Following a crew of young graffiti writers, Ahearn captures the DIY creative wellspring that would go on to inspire generations.Today, WILD STYLE remains vital and exuberant in its joyous depiction of a burgeoning cultural moment, featuring iconic scenes including Double Trouble’s ‘Stoop Rap,’ the basketball throwdown between the Cold Crush Brothers and the Fantastic Freaks, and the culminating all-star festival in the East River Park.
