In 1981, Warhol associate Glenn O’Brien, Swiss photographer Edo Bertoglio, and Jean-Michel Basquiat, a graffiti innovator who’d just begun to exhibit his paintings, hit the streets of lower Manhattan to make a movie about the bombed out bohemia that they knew. DOWNTOWN 81 is a window to a lost world of life on the margins and crazy creative ferment.

(Edo Bertoglio, USA, English, 72 min, 1981, 35mm)
