Urban Artists at SF DocFest

Sun, May 21

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.
