RASH
RASH is a “contemporary story of Melbourne and the artists who make it a living host for illegal artwork called ‘street art’. This film explores the cultural value of unsanctioned public art and the ways that graffiti contributes to a very public dialogue.” I’ve made no secret of my feelings for Melbourne’s street art scene recently; I love it (although it looks like the authorities are doing their best to stamp it out by banning graff video games and even threatening legal action against the Stencil Graffiti Capital: Melbourne book launch). Anyways, RASH is hitting Barbican on the 8th March 2006 as part of the London Australian Film Festival 2006. Get there if you can but just don’t tell me about it because I can’t make it and I’m gutted! However, I will look forward to the DVD release, which looks like it should be landing at the end of March/beginning of April…I’ll keep you posted.
