Charlie Ahearn: Wild Style:The Sampler
In 1982, a small independent movie written, produced, and directed by
Charlie Ahearn was released, first in Germany, Japan, and Cannes, then
finally in Times Square. Wild Style, the first film to unite the
underground urban art forms of nascent hip-hop culture—DJing, MCing,
b-boying, and graff writing— was filmed on location in the South Bronx
without permits or pretensions. Some twenty-five years after its
release, Wild Style is truly a classic, having inspired countless
artists, musicians, and writers with its unforgettable scenes starring
the era’s most memorable personalities.
Artist’s Reception: Friday, June 22, 2007, 6-9pm. Music by the
legendary DJ Disco Wiz. Drinks courtesy of Brooklyn Brewery. A
screening of the film will follow the launch party at the nearby
Empire-Fulton Ferry State Park as part of the Brooklyn Hip Hop Festival.
