Criminal Damage Art Trailers

A photographic collage depicting graffiti around Newcastle upon Tyne across two days in July 2020. The photographs depict a range of high and low forms of wall art, while asking, ‘Graffiti, art or vandalism’?. The repetitive tags question if identify based graffiti is territorial or part of a community spirit? Is there an inherent social need to make one’s mark? And what is our relationship with the environment we inhabit? The film is dated to the 1st & 2nd July to emphasise that graffiti is a temporary art. If this project was repeated any later, the same landscapes and subjects would have changed.

Reviews

Gutsycurene Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.
Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
Orla Zuniga It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review
