DOWNTOWN CALLING
Directed by Shan Nicholson
"Downtown Calling captures the energy and creativity of New York in the late 70s and 80s from the Mudd Club to Paradise Garage, from Disco to No Wave to Hip Hop, from graffiti to downtown art stars like Jean-Michel Basquiat. Using an impressive range of interviews, excellent use of archival material and evocative music, Downtown Calling remembers the grittier days of New York City. We chose this film for the sense of hope it displays in illuminating the creativity that can emerge out of difficult times." – Jurors Ingrid Kopp & Liz Nord.

PRAYER TO A VENGEFUL GOD
