(1983, 82 min., directed by Charlie Ahearn) A vivid portrait of the earliest days of hip hop in the New York boroughs, Wild Style! is an utterly authentic story of the tension between art and commerce. The film features appearances by hip-hop pioneers, including Grandmaster Flash, Fab Five Freddy, Busy Bee, the Cold Crush Brothers, and Lee Quinones. A conversation with the film’s creator Charlie Ahearn follows the screening.
