Vigilante Vigilante

Part investigative journalism, part personal crusade, Vigilante Vigilante is a renegade documentary that jumps directly into the cultural fray over graffiti and illegal street expression. Filmmakers Max Good and Nathan Wollman document their mission to uncover the identity of a prolific anti-graffiti vigilante known as the "Silver Buff." Strangely, the Silver Buff is himself a vandal; he surreptitiously spray paints metallic silver blobs over existing graffiti, almost always doing more damage than was there to begin with.

The film steadily ventures deeper into the world of graffiti and street expression through the eyes of practitioners, opponents, fans, and authorities. Graffiti writers from both coasts give their perspectives on what it means to write and why they do it. The film also profiles three other infamous vigilantes: LA’s “Graffiti Guerilla,” Joe Connolly, New Orleans’ “Gray Ghost,” Fred Radtke, and Portland’s “Silver Circle,” Ron Engman.

Ultimately, Vigilante Vigilante is a unique exploration of the individual drive to express oneself and affect one's environment. Through the passion of its most dedicated detractors and advocates, it is clear that graffiti is much more than just insignificant scrawl on a wall. Whether seen as dangerous, disrespectful, and anarchistic or inspiring, free, and revolutionary, graffiti is anything but unimportant.

Too Dazed on the Rock

Kiki and Rosto from RWC knocked together a short section for the premier of 'Too Dazed on the Rock 3'. Too Dazed is a locally filmed skate movie set to make Guernsey skaters get productive and creative. Skaters work in pairs to film a short section over two days on the weekend and then they have 5 days to edit the film. All the sections are then compiled and screened at the Centre Fold Gallery with the premier being the first time that all the skaters see each others sections...

Jersey Live

The RWC Crew hit up Jersey Live at the weekend and did a bit of painting whilst we were there. Big up to Sao and Spoon our Jersey connections.



The music at Jersey Live was a bit tosh this year with the highlights being two french bands. Curry and Coco are a Keyboardist and a drummer that play catchy electro indie pop.


Smoke by Curry and Coco

The only thing to top Curry and Coco were Gablé, a trio from Caen in France. Hints of The Books and Animal Collective here, well worth checking them out live.

Broken Dreams...literally

The RWC crew are not too sure how to feel about this....Skate films just got arty and dark....

2009 Transworld Skate & Create - C1RCA Broken Dreams

Bombin'

Whilst we are on an old school tip check out this old graff film. First shown on Channel 4 in the UK, Bombin' chronicles the journey of NY artist Brim through the UK media, as well as meeting a young Goldie, who in turn travels to NYC to meet Afrika Baambaata. This was filmed at the times of the Birmingham riots and shows the parallels of life in the inner city on both sides of the Atlantic. Bad!

Dalek - EXTERMINATE


Nice little Dalek interview from BKRW.

BÖIKZMÖIND

Back in the day some of the RWC crew used to be right little BMX Bandits. We still have an interest in all things with two wheels, nowadays we are not just exclusively into BMX. Jam Factory & M4KINOV in Bristol have been working on a fixie film called BÖIKZMÖIND. We have a sneaky suspicion that Guernsey boy Blackcloud might have had some input into the title loike!

Peep the trailer and look out for Blackcloud on the orange frame...I think we spotted a sneaky peek of 45rpm too.
