All the Streets Are Silent: The Convergence of Hip Hop and Skateboarding (1987-1997)
Jeremy Elkin / United States (Opera prima - 2020 - 89’ - VOSE)
How was the Zoo York movement born, and who inspired Larry Clark to make his debut feature Kids, now considered a cult classic? The answer lies in All the Streets Are Silent: The Convergence of Hip Hop and Skateboarding (1987-1997), the energetic documentary by newcomer Jeremy Elkin that transports us to the Manhattan of the late 1980s. Stretch Armstrong, Rosario Dawson, Eli Gesner and Yuki Watanabe are some of our companions on this journey to the bustling moment when the two subcultures that would revolutionize the world in the 1990s converged: Hip Hop and Skater culture. "All the Streets Are Silent: The Convergence of Hip Hop and Skateboarding (1987-1997)" is the luminous X-ray of a New York that emerged as the undisputed benchmark of the urban at the end of the 20th century. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, skate culture and hip-hop collided in downtown Manhattan. Archival images from the period show the fusion of these two forms of expression.
