----/ The Squid List /-------------------------------------------------- Urban Artists at SF DocFest
Sun May 21 5p $10 ----/ Event Description /----------------------------------------------- Urban Artists Shorts Program Four short films portray six modern artists of our urban landscape. Some have continued their craft for decades to become a city fixture, like the quirky NYC sandal maker known as BARBARA LEATHER, or, like the two Chinese artists in YELLOW OX MOUNTAIN who've come to NYC to transform their Cultural Revolution history into striking modern commentary. Other, younger artists are creating totally new art forms out of formerly mundane modern objects. 22-year-old Muslim Asid makes bleak East London into something inspiring: He performs the addictively watcheable art of Parcour on stairs, roofs, and even public toilets in ASID: PORTRAIT OF A FREERUNNER. And even roadkill is given new beauty in STILL, LIFE. in which two artists document the persistence of spirit by tenderly photographing dead animals they find along the highway.
