Die Dokumentatation „Beautiful Losers“ zeichnet ein interessantes Portrait der schwerpunktmäßig in den 90ern aktiven und kunstrelevanten DIY (do-it-yourself) Bewegung. Im Film von Aaron Rose kommen jede Menge spannende DIY Künstler zu Wort und lassen ein gutes Bild der DIY Szene entstehen. Wenn ich mich nicht irre, war der Film nie in den deutschen Kinos zu sehen.
Nun ist der Film in 9 Teilen komplett auf youtube zu sehen. Auf jeden Fall lohnenswert! Danke für den Hinweis auf nerdcore.
„BEAUTIFUL LOSERS celebrates the spirit behind one of the most influential cultural moments of a generation. In the early 1990’s a loose-knit group of likeminded outsiders found common ground at a little NYC storefront gallery. Rooted in the DIY (do-it-yourself) subcultures of skateboarding, surf, punk, hip hop & graffiti, they made art that reflected the lifestyles they led. Developing their craft with almost no influence from the “establishment” art world, this group, and the subcultures they sprang from, have now become a movement that has been transforming pop culture.
Starring a selection of artists who are considered leaders within this culture, Beautiful Losers focuses on the telling of personal stories. It speaks to themes of what happens when the outside becomes “in” as it explores the creative ethos connecting these artists and today’s youth.“
