If you could choose who you want to be ...
who would you be?

Outlaw.

Film director.

Rebel.

Rock star.

Paris, Casablanca, Dean Martin,
Frank Sinatra

Amos Poe, Eric Mitchell.

Take it from me, you dirty bitch ...

living behind the camera.
I'll shoot you!

There was something important going on ...

a kind of "road
old. Here are some of the messages. "

Previously it was not
a voice for independent film.

The city was one of us, we
He could shoot without a license.

It has been inspiring people
it did from their feelings.

It's everything fell into place.
That was the explosive moment.

Meeting of like-minded.

Whether you want to do ...
or people you've met ...

everything was possible.

Make your movie.
Do it without money.

It was like we were living in a movie.

It was very cinematic.

Making the film was an accident.

As a teenager, I went to my
dealing with photography.

America was about hope.
Vietnam War ...

Martin Luther King
Robert Kennedy was assassinated.

I was embarrassed.

I went to Czechoslovakia
Family visits to my father.

I heard that there were farmers
in the land of the Carpathian Mountains, Dracula ...

which feared when
photographed, their soul has been stolen.

So I had a telephoto lens and tried
steal as many souls as possible.

And that night the Russians attacked inside.

And I was lost in the wild
and photographed.

After that I could not shoot any more pictures.

I'm back in the US
and went to a friend ...

and he had two super-8 cameras.
One lay apart ...

and I asked: "What is it?"

He said: "This is a super-8 camera.
There you can make movies with him. "

And it was love at first sight.

Punk rock is not for nothing
in the 70s he appeared.

There was a rebellion against the cultural
superficiality, that was then.

You had the feeling that
The circle was completed.

We felt that we
something new had their hands full.

Whenever I went out
I had a 16mm camera with me.

The Council also took sound and I filmed
Many bands with his friends.

Ivan and I had a film
called 'Night Dinner "did.

Roxy Music, New York Dolls,
David Bowie.

It ended with Patti Smith in black and white.

We decided all the other bands
We have already filmed ...

as Tumberlain, Patty Smith.
Nobody knew them, but we thought ...

if we do a full 60 minutes
we have a "feature" film.

They are easier to disperse.

We always sat without money.

That's why it was so resourceful.

We had all this footage ...

and had none of the bands
Already published music.

So we had to record
Making of The Ramones and The Talking Heads.

Our budget for editing
"Blank Generation" was $ 100.

The brothers were approaching the topic
documentarians ...

They had their own editing room.
And I asked them if I could rent for $ 40.

And they said, okay for 24 hours.

So Ivan and I have some speed
and we cut the film in one day ended.

We showed the film at CBGB
and everyone came to see.

It was a great success.

It was about everything overboard
throw all the rules.

Making a film on 16mm film
with nicks and everything.

With a bunch of musicians eventually
nobody has ever heard.

Himself kicking and screaming to
New York City stage of the campaign ...

to announce that we are there.
We arrived.

I think that Amos Poe left us
see that you could make a film without money.

Not that we always without a budget
wanted to work ...

but we wanted to make films.

And then when we did nothing
My movies without a budget.

This period was a cultural explosion.

So many people were at
make movies.

It's really been an explosion,
not only in the film, but also ...

Music, theater and performance

Lower East Side seemed
a major movie studio.

No one was in charge,
not the money, but ...

It was the accumulation
talent and personality.

It was all about himself
saving the first team and film culture.

Everyone experiment.

And I thought, 'I want to be a part of. "

What is "it" might be.

I do not know if the story
True or not, but ...

There was a boy, Freddy, on Houston Street
which one party won a super-8 camera ...

sound, so a lot of people
cheap could get my camera.

He had ground
where he sold all kinds of stolen goods.

That day there was a row
People buy these cameras.

Then came six months later
people with their super-8 films.

And it helped the whole
initiate movement.

You did not eat, but bought
Guitar or Super-8 camera.

You went to a drugstore, bought some film,
He called everyone together and start shooting.

We wrote our own rules.

And there is tried at a time Time
break a few.

"Do you want a taxi?"

'Where do you want to go?
- In Manhattan, please. "

"What is the address?
- Drive simply but nicely.

I came to New York without
he wants to stay here my whole life.

But I felt like home,
like so many free spirits.

Normal people have fled
So the only ones in New York ...

wanted to go were the freaks and lunatics.

Between 14th Street, Houston
Bowery and Avenue B ...

that was the whole world to us.

You had all these areas, including Chinatown
and Little Italy, and ...

They might have already run around all those
people meet ...

You could from books and films.

There they were, and they
He had it as hard as you.

He just came from William Burrows
His staff that was actually a sword ...

a Derringer pistol
Among his belt.

Attic, where I lived I was
where did Yoko Ono's film 'fly'.

People like Burrows, beat generation,
He paved the way for us for free.

It was the mythical New York
Bob Dylan, and ...

Allen Ginsberg poetry.

"Running through the streets Angry
looking angry swipe.

Since the city was so decrepit ...
We have to live cheaply.

New York was nearly bankrupt.

It was like the Wild West.

President Ford refused
Financial assistance to New York.

As a result, the city was
economically decrepit.

There were areas on
Lower East Side, where buildings ...

there burned and abandoned layers
and people went to live there.

"Yesterday departed. Life Now
Lower East Side ...

in 2-bedroom.
Details will follow later. "

You could just anywhere
draw and decide to live there.

You searched innkeeper, and it turned out
than having a shop in the street.

You gave him a couple hundred dollars
large loft.

We lived like kings votes.

In our dilapidated palaces.

I pulled into a small apartment
above a strip club.

No one lived except
thousands of rats.

If the pest they withdrew
through the deserted town.

The apartment was really busy
infested.

I paid the rent, but
they were tenants.

One of my recent films
It was about cockroaches.

You could see their desperate heads.

We all had
$ 50 per month a small apartment ...

above and beside each other.

We called it "Little Hollywood".

There were people like Amos Poe
Tina L'Hotsky and John Lurry.

We worked on other films
and music together.

We were very well aware
This was the same area ...

where once the old one
spoels movies were filmed.

When they made films in one afternoon.

We felt that we had a past.

Rapid and impressive
make movies.

People shared their equipment
and put things into ...

and we worked together on films.

We have been in this unit
charred piece of New York ...

We did not feel
bound limits.

We went to CBGB and
Max's Kansas City ...

And then suddenly everything
Light in New York.

And New York was shrouded in darkness.

I saw people from the windows
Shops throw.

It was a huge act of liberation.

I could remember when I
failure of 1977 have seen ...

State Constitution may be just explode.

Beanstigde me, but I
It was also exciting.

Clinton Street is two blocks
south of here.

Further south, so I would not go.

Why?

Is there really dangerous.

I hold myself.

People taking the law into their own hands.

If they do what forests
just did it.

Many drugs, crime ferocity.

Neither of us had any money, so
Our steal anything.

The danger gave people energy
instead of fear.

You could be at night, relieved.
There was every day of anarchy.

It was exactly at the height
Corruption New York.

We came out of the rubble.

It seemed that someone
bomb was dropped on the Lower East Side.

I remember conversations from that era
When people asked me ...

as you can in the name of God
live in this place?

And I thought, 'Well, let's just
not to visit. "

At Rivington Street was located
foundation for young filmmakers ...

There could rent a cheap camera.

People stood in line on drugs
he yelled at me because they thought ...

I had the urge.
I had to fight through junkies ...

to pick up equipment.

Rafik had OP Screening Room, which could
rent, depending on how much money you had.

He said that "I want $ 50. I'm just -'Maar
One decade. "Well, you can rent for $ 7.

He saw this group
Emerging filmmakers ...

and gave them space
develop in.

Every year on Thanksgiving,
He invited all the ...

and I served my cranberries
Jack Smith.

It was the heyday
underground filmmaking in New York.

Jonas Mekas, Shirley Clark,
Robert Frank, and certainly Jack Smith.

He was known in the neighborhood.

I remember pointing in rats
and he said: "The soul of the dead landlords.

In the mid-70s, "you had Warhol
Jack Smith, Harry Smith, Jonas Mekas ...

all live in New York.
You should have everything in place there.

Everything I know I learned from
making, reading and watching movies.

French cinema like Godard and Bresant.

Italian films like Antonioni.

And ... because, with a small
a group of people to work.

Kind of family.

He made his black and white narrative films.

Warhol's love for his concept of ...

Fassbender for actors
brings together ...

Pasidiny blameless ...

A Melville for his hat and sunglasses.

People were glad Style
and he wanted to make such films themselves ...

but with a nonchalant attitude.

"I'm doing my film and if you
Not to you but to rot.

"Melancholia solidifies my face."

"Drink and women ...

"Only with anger, try
I'm looking at your face. "

"I steal from the acts.

"Nature has its own plans.
But no reflection.

"Society makes demands.

"I live only for one reason."

'I am'.

What happens now?

I do not know?
I can not see into the future.

True!

Well, if it's fate I'll let you ...

if not, I leave.

He still works as
Godard principles.

Due to the work, without lighting
and movies from your hand.

And the first time I
things look in practice ...

It was when I borrowed a 16mm camera
Amos Poe and gave him the ...

so that he scene
Deborah Harry filmed.

Ready to take my picture? -

Amos put an ad in
"Village Voice".

Eric responded to the ad
"Unmāda Beds" and Patty Astor him.

I had Duncan Hannah who plays the lead
Time to recognize that.

He said: Do you want me
They play a major role in the film without a script?

Yes, they have about two weeks: I said
We finished the script.

Sorry, but you can give me a tenner
borrow up next week?

I've already made their money
And then I got fired.

My wife was pregnant
and gave birth to a child.

And when she was still upset
and had to be admitted.

So I finished my film.
I had a contribution ...

with a pram
snow as Doctor Zhivago ...

Wipe madhouse
so the baby could see her mother.

Besides making this movie, I was
Also in the plans for the next film.

It was the best and worst
time of my life.

"The Stranger" was quick
tough film made real at the moment.

Stranger walked in January
1978 premiere.

Until then, everyone wanted
make movies.

Everyone who came to the premiere.

I was surprised that it was Amos
Road went up and made a feature film.

When other filmmakers started
I said, "you can do it."

If I can do that, you can too.

Amos Poe was the one who next
independent film movement ...

After Andy Warhol started.

I read about Warhol's Time magazine ...

so I
New York come.

The angle of incidence was similar
to Warhol films.

Bring your friends, give them costumes
and let them freely for the camera.

We deliberately alienate us from
avant-garde cinema.

We wanted to tell our stories
movies instead art films.

So you can reach more people.

"I want to see you in action."

They took things from
"Underground" and "expirimentele" movies ...

and created a new genre.

So much ...

It was grim. It was
Reflection time.

At night, the street was dead scary.

It explains how people
from "Alphabet City" he held.

And they knew that
scariest rooms.

Home Run was like
You went to war.

It was very similar to the movie "Midnight Cowboy."

You could even Ratso Rizzo-like
characters meet.

A type of Joe Bucks on 35th Street.

Lots of inspiration
Events had nothing ...

deal with other artists
but with the people that I met on the street.

Or people who were trying to rip.

I wish the "Smitherines' rough
characters indicate ...

a world in which they lived.

If you have no money
things to meet ...

just use what's there.

No money for the movie?
Steal some shots.

We were aggressive
because we were idealists.

Eric asked me a movie
Make "Kidnapping".

It was a good system.
We just shot ...

War film wrapped and sent
It is behind.

And it was a movie.

My approach has always been
let the action play.

Aim the camera out and look at it.

You do not need to interfere too much
with what happened.

We shot it in one day.
No adjustments.

It was "punks speed"
and "terrorists on valium.

Eric Mitchel attended
floor above me on the 3rd street.

Eric could be electricity
account does not pay

So he had an extension cord
John Lurie house.

Every time I pissed
I had it pulled the plug.

Sometimes completely
War I and Eric.

Only whole time.

Eric then made his films ...
and I thought I could.

John Lurie just followed me in the street.

And one day he knocked on my door ...

and he gave me some speed
and we made a movie together.

John made film
James Chance ...

and get money
To "Men in Orbit" ...

put into the robbery scene.

His saxophone was probably stolen.

For vezekeringsgeld.

We broke the law on money
collect our movies.

That was our way.

I kept a secret, that I could play the saxophone.

And I've done movies.

Nobody did what was good.

If you do not have good technique.
The technique was really hated.

Artists making music.

Musicians painted
or produced films.

Nobody did what
He knew about.

There was suddenly a crossroads
between music, theater and the arts.

That did not happen sooner
and the attitude was, just do it.

I never went to film school ...

I just took a small Kodak camera
He turned it on and learned to make films.

But in all this was
Hidden powerful message.

Did you see another
people do things ...

you thought that what
can not play the guitar ...

I can not.
Maybe I'm in the band.

Things went at that time so quickly.

In the four-month period
TV and you had Blondie and the Ramones.

Two months later it was all over
and twist and DNA.

I've never heard anything like it.

"No Wave" was a clever name.

This was used to
appoint those bands ...

who were more unharmonious.

It was really nihilistic.

Destroy all of the 1976th
This is the end. Burned.

It was much more experimental.

Spread the idea of punk
conceptual understanding of music.

Minimal, minimal, loud ...

Try to bring music
as if it had never occurred before.

"Mars" was a first for me
No Wave band.

They inspired me
start with "Teenage Jesus.

Unlike apart and some
In a twist of ...

There was at the No Wave
They not trained musicians.

Just picked up a tool
and she started making noise.

Someone gave me a lousy
broken guitar and ...

Then I started music
to Teenage Jesus.

She brought LP
which was four minutes.

Their concept was "less is more.

My influences came from
literature, dada, surrealism ...

a film, rather than the music.

I wish Bradly field as a drummer.

which is simply a drinker
crazy was that I met ...

on the Bowery, where he was a pilgrim
stomped him fired.

I wanted him as a drummer.
He said: I do not play drums ...

but I told you
or play the drum.

Bradley Field of Lydia Lunch
He had one drum and a stick.

That was the drummer.

A Gordon Stevenson on bass guitar.

He was the first person I could
who died of AIDS.

It was a huge
personality on stage.

It was truly an icon of his time.

She was born for this role.

"That's not funny now
be a teenager. "

It was so wild, so young and ...

I was with her first filmed.

In 1978 everything was
Well, the people of the waves ...

Suddenly he plays in No Wave films.

People like Lydia Lunch, Pat Place,
Sway Anna and John Lurie.

One way
Aesthetic of Music ...

convey to create a movie.
Their talent for using soundtracks.

I could not find a better actor
In my own circle ...

and most of us
Actors are already ...

in our own lives.

Patty Astor was known
Actress in "downtown" movie scene.

She starred in Amos Poe films.

A film of Eric Mitchell.

I wanted to act in films.

I find myself always actress ...

who pretended to be a rock star.

Then I existed rock
& Roll really for women.

It was only for men.

There was an element of cooperation.

And the people who worked with me ...
He had my trust.

I had no ambition to be an actress.

I'm so bad at it.

We could not act.

We shot
semi-documentary Unitarian options.

I gave my friends roll
They were also in real life.

Rome '78 was very ambitious.

It was like a military exercise.

James' film was like
a pair of escaped lunatics ...

He gave them Roman costumes.

They were just sheets.

I had to leave him
pay sheets.

People in robes that reenact Rome
in the heart of New York City ...

It was really hilarious.

That is something we will not soon
It connects with the No Wave scene.

It was very funny.

"I said," pretend "and you
really trying to kill me! "

It speaks for itself: "They are killing Cesar.

It was difficult to predict
what at what moment would happen.

The dialogue was partly written ...

and the residue was
instead improvised.

I wanted to shoot in this building ...

So I went to see ...

and pretended that I wanted to rent it.

He took me up in the elevator ...

The elevator opened and I
He saw this beautiful vaulted ceiling.

I secretly lock your windows ..

and that evening we climbed to the top ...

He went inside
I opened the windows ...

and we made our film.

I used everything
But Roman looked like something my decor.

But there have always been
parking signs or ...

people who smoked cigarettes.

I still think ...
All films were New York ...

although
Ancient Rome suggested.

"Hey, what's bothering you here?"

'I do not know?'

"Looking around the neighborhood."

"Yeah, we just walk past.
Why? "

Eric Mitchell film "The Way
It is "the first film ...

where I played.

Eric wrote the dialogue and the actors ...
while setting up the device.

Martin Boon said, "What if I say this ...?"

A Herbert said, "Great!
Steve, what would you say ...? "

And then I spot some text.

Eric had all its equipment
in the laundry basket.

And then he cried under my
A window they needed me.

Then we went to the streets
and filmed the scene.

Vincent Gallo also played on.

We played our kind of films
not aware of emotions.

A bad acting
The result was ...

it was deliberate
and an important aspect of the film.

Your name Schreuber?
- Yes.

Name?
- Dora.

Nickname?
- Rat.

Age?
- 21

Jobs?
- Prostitute.

Which categories?
- Luxury.

I've already answered this question.

It was like Abstact
Expressionist painting.

I continued shooting
or until the money ran out ...

whether the film was completed.

It was the normal thing
in the world for me ...

go to bed at 8 pm
and sleep up to 11 hours ...

and get dressed and go out.

The home was in the first
CBGB body.

I met a lot of musicians
But Amos Poe and Eric Mitchell.

I first came to CBGB ...

it was the first time I was somewhere
He was with like-minded people.

Freaks and Misfits.

"Are you going now?"

"Girl, it goes off without me."

'Where are you going?
MUD Club? "

Exchanged from one another
Max is at CBGB's to Mud Club.

Anyone with a little bit of art
He did come in these clubs.

There was always a film screening
Scott B and Beth and Charlie Ahern.

Lots of ideas were
replaced in clubs.

Associated with drug use.

If you live in a shanty house ...

between two empty houses
surrounded by trash ...

where it is dangerous
just go home ...

then you have what it takes
rather blunt reality.

Plus it was nice.

You had much better drugs
in the late 70s.

All types of pills ...

and barbiturates.

Pills or drink, it did not matter.

Then I thought that I was a little bit
barrier could break ...

spot more
Truth was faithful.

People at that time were much
less hypocritical about drugs.

You had this whole morale
resistance to drug use.

It was normal
part of our lives.

I remember parties
Cookie Meuller, who ...

crazy woman was who
He died of AIDS.

He often gave MDA feetsjes.
XTC predecessor.

It was on Christmas Eve.

Anyone who snorted as MDA
and people who hated each other ...

They were suddenly
friends from each other.

I remember Copol
He was at the party.

Like a weird dream. And then
He left.

Cookie, was a dealer.
Fasbinder was a drug dealer.

If you were with her you saw Fasbinder
Sometimes they come to pick up a Coke.

She was in many movies and
They could also write very well.

It was an eclectic and diverse
so many people ...

who met and their
Ideas had to do.

Does not mean no ambition
Do not look into the future.

At the beginning appeared
an article in the "Village Voice" ...

and he brought in all those movies
Sudden public attention.

I believe that Jim Hoberman
which was marked "No Wave" invented

for these films.

Then he began to build the Real.

The label "No Wave" is nothing more than
it's just a label.

One way to all those disciplines
stopping in one category.

This facilitates Media
refer to this type of art.

We need category
in order to reduce the bottom movements.

I have no problem with "No Wave"
because "NO" ("no" or "no"), he says ...

"Wave (wave or motion). It will be
named for what it is.

'What is it? I know too damn much? "

I do not think all
Our films look alike.

Format Super-8 was
common factor.

And they work with actors
and feature, documentary or did both.

You could not do it.

I just went to Eric and
Amos, and they said ...

Whenever you go now
even make a movie?

Come on, Jim.
Create a feature film.

My first film "permanent vacation"
I wrote to my friend ...

Chris Parker, who was 14 years
when I met him.

He was a smart way
come to CBGB ...

without paying.

There was a back entrance to
loading and unloading. We went ...

back and if someone
The door opened, we crept ...

and hid for Hilly Crystal
the owner of the tent.

Chris Young would have.
I thought the guy has charisma.

Chris was out already
very movable type.

But when I started shooting
It was less agile ...

So I went there and
who took the speed of the film.

It was not a documentary ...

But it was filmed in
Where we hung out before.

We filmed in Genoa flat Lurrie
3rd Street.

And Jean Michelle Basquiat was
a good friend of ours.

He called himself "Samo" and wrote
Graffiti on the streets.

Often he had no place to sleep
So he slept with me or John apartment.

So while we turned my film
Genoa apartment sleeping ...

in a sleeping bag on the floor.

So during the shoot, I trudged
remains under the camera ...

so it was out of the picture. And he slept
What she fell asleep again.

So in these scenes, that is in the room
But I pulled to get him out of the picture.

I sent the movie to
Film Festival in Germany ...

and the film won the prize.

So when I came back I could
Even my evil landlord pays off.

And Wim Wenders saw my film, and
He offered me some film work ...

and I've just gone
with the film.

You could do a film
show him next week.

It was filmed, cut and screened.

We walked at night on the streets
with a bucket of glue ...

and posted throughout our movie posters.

And it worked just fine.

Eric, James and I decided to
our own cinema set.

"New Cinema" served to recall
Films provide a platform.

We filmed in Super-8 and convert
straight to video.

And then we could get into the "New
Cinema "run as often as we wanted.

It was the first video
Theater in New York.

I went there regularly.

They turned Lurrie John's "Men in Orbit" ...

and James near the "Rome-78th

I left 'The Deadly Art of Survival "
see there.

As long as people came to see the movie
Turn left him there.

We really wanted people
he had to pay to see movies.

No admission charge.

Two input dollar, or you will not get inside.

Occasionally, serious film, came
Critics see it as a film ...

It was written in Soho News
and The Village Voice.

Some films drew weeks
Long full houses.

We were amazed how
people were interested in our films.

Did you have some 5-600 people
Center, they knew.

And somehow arrived
everyone appears to ...

to do that night was.

Exhibitions were organized in
Other opportunities than clubs.

Famous performance was beneficial
X-Magazine that James is coming ...

and several others were involved.

James was "Teenage
Jesus vacation and ...

He is working on his own band focus.

He came to me and said, "I think
you can find it all right, you play a musical instrument? "

The audience of "The twist" existed
Artistic types of wind Soho.

They were cool guys
so I started pulling on them ...

and yet did not respond
I started them what to trade.

I really wanted physical,
emotional response from them.

He jumped into the audience
and began pushing the greatest person.

If you went to see twist could
your hair out as they are developed ...

It was amazing.

The audience gave the attack
Concert element of pure realism ...

but the more I did it
More is expected from me.

It was the opposite
why I did it.

I once had to sign statements
I would do it on stage.

So I replaced it with violence
violent dance.

So I did not have to beat people.

I left the band just
Brian Eno came.

In a twist fallen
apart and I founded ...

another band with my friends.

Our first gig was in the "TR3"
and we had six songs.

To see how he was simply charming.

Bands like get our
from these influences.

I remember that everywhere
posters hung with ...

Then "Everyone here is in the band."

I also had a band, "Del Byzanteens" ...

We opened Echo
Bunnymen and New Order.

Everyone knew that I wanted to paint,
writing or in a band.

And often all three.

I just wanted personalities
and show band.

Everyone wanted movies
so that one and a half hours.

I was a friend of Edo Bertolio.

Edo was a great photographer.

We had a lot
Matching interests.

As girls and drugs.

His girlfriend "Marie Paul"
provided funding.

Nobody ever gave money
foil to it.

It stole or robbed just down together.

And suddenly we had to
production company.

I wrote a screenplay for a week.

They wanted "Downtown Manhattan"
imaging.

They needed a person who
led the audience through this world.

Jean Michelle Basquiat wanted
that person would want to be.

To be an artist and you
Political slogans sprayed on walls ...

It is pretty cool.

"I've got your brand
Pressing the world. "

"And it has left its mark on me."

"I'm a writer," ...

"But sometimes I feel
as I wrote. "

"You see that guy over there?" they say "...
"It's just a number.

I'm not sure that I Basquiat
You can talk without being emotional.

If he was still alive then
he became 49 this year.

"Here you have to think big
only survival ".

"It can be a jungle, or a paradise."

The project was created in 1980 and nothing
This was a few years ago.

Very cold
long days of filming ...

The director must wait
because who shot in the can.

There was a political scandal going on
and they did the money supply.

Then we have 20 years
No film made.

This fact shows how
New York looked like.

I felt that we have to do something
with this movement because I felt ...

It would not stay long.
And I was right.

New York energetic atmosphere
She was so contagious ...

that it affected everything.

You have been there in a hurry.
Everything had to happen right now.

Once you have an idea
You brought it right out.

Otherwise, she lived one street away.

So I knew him as someone from the neighborhood.

And when did this movie
about the Nazis ...

which appeared in the "Long Island" ...

I was very disappointed
I did not play a role.

"They act like real Americans."

"If they're not drunk
They buy clothes, "...

"Or they spend their time
disgusting woman.

"Of all these decadence
I need on my neck. "

Otherwise Graf did Trom
Long Island Four "...

and she died shortly thereafter
in a traffic accident.

Otherwise, it was a great filmmaker.

His death was a huge blow.

In this period it was about survival.

They had to fight for it
to allow for the production of films.

It was a new style of film
but with sharp edges, unpolished.

I just wanted radical
so extreme film I could.

I had no idea who
film would look like ...

or it is even
someone look.

There was extraordinary
nihilists air.

and that was my motivation at the time.

"Put that thing away.
You've seen too many movies. "

"Take it! Come on, take it."

'Come on. Entertains us both a favor. "

It was a different time.

Much more cynical time.

Economics, politics,
end of the war ...

the beginning of the Reagan era.
It made people angry.

We wanted to turn everything upside down.

There were many different films
he did, but what I did ...

He was more political.

"Born In Flames" was born
The idea that I'm different ...

types of people would be able to meet,
white and black women together.

I wish people of different languages
spoken, uniting under one vision.

In all the films I've made
I wanted a female ...

position presented.
As most movies only ...

male positions
represented.

"We have the false promises
Too long to hear. "

"We are all equal
could be '...

"The social democracy."

"As the rich get richer" ...

"A waiting weapons
dreams that never come true. "

That began to change.

These women had to do something
So they started with peaceful demonstrations ...

until one of them is killed.

That is suppressed and therefore should
They capture the radio station.

World Trade Center transmitter
literally check everything.

We went all the way up and
on the roof, and we hid ...

What looked like a real bomb,
and nobody stopped us.

I had a budget of $ 200
and finally found ...

someone who is a model of WTC
had built. I blew glitter from ...

straw, and film
Slowly off ...

it looked like an explosion.

It's a strange feeling I
Thus, the movie ended, he knew what ...

WTC happened
and loss that I feel about it.

Narrative films do
not the most important.

But the politically radical films
production was.

Moviemaking deep
He entered in this case.

It was a time of "Baader Meinhof"
and the Red Brigades.

Political groups in the time of these films
Scott and Beth B and inspired me.

When Beth and I started working together
We made the film "G-Man".

We have a different type of film
Creation of forests.

Bill's character worked with
E.O.D. But in his spare time ...

SM went to the club.

In this period planted Faln
bombs in USA

It was important that people
by pushing the nose on facts.

"What can we do to make it
stop terrorism? "

"We have terrorism
iron fist to suppress.

Scott and I have worked as a team.

We did everything together: music,
writing, photography.

Beth is a waitress in "Maggoo is'
and I stole my lunch there.

Two of us were a good combination.

"We are specialists in
Managing Stress ".

Lydia had the "G-Man" and wanted to see
The show at Max's Kansas City.

So we said, 'we do
a new film.

"We are not interested in the law.
The idea is what is important. "

"We will destroy our enemies
himself, we will change them. "

"Black Box" was based on
Torture Americans ...

Vietnam uses.

Because it is only Max Club
was screened, you could be the public ...

Indeed bombing
shocking images.

We heard that someone
Hall ran to surrender.

With the proceeds we could get our
first long film, "perpetrators".

In the spirit of "cans and everything,
anything goes, "we decided to ...

You are using a public television channel.

You were right in people's homes.
We did a lot of good show.

Were you Glenn O'Brien's TV Party
which had its own will.

"It's a real show!"

"This is an emergency broadcast!"

"All Color News" was the show
Beth and Scott B.

And it was a joint project.

Collab consisted of a group of artists ...

He wanted to make these films together
cast and magazines ...

and doing TV shows.

And art shows in places
This was normal to see the art.

Asked "Time Square
Art Show "together.

A question that many
their breakthrough artists.

It was an attempt by these ideas
the East Village art ghetto to push ...

We took over the empty building,
The landlord gave us free.

It was on the cover of "Village Voice" as
radical 80s art show.

There I met Charlie
Ahearn first.

I left "The Deadly Art
survival you see that ...

It was part of that
A whole movement to get away ...

the art world and movies
to come closer to reality.

When I decided to lower
East Side to start shooting ...

I had no film crew.

So I was practically invisible.

I came into contact with
KungFu school and ask ...

if I wanted to make a film with them.

Like all karate movies you
Good versus bad schools.

A poor school was called "Disco Dojo.

A sold drugs from
Disco Dojo.

Poster for "Deadly
Art of Survival "is really ...

looks cool
Underground film.

When I met Charlie and he
He wanted to get together.

And there was a film "Wild Style".

It was something new
which for the future.

Wild Style was huge
A new movement in New York ...

And how to reflect
It was a difficult problem.

Various street culture;
graffiti, music, breakdancing, DJing ...

Film it all together.

Charlie did before the film went
He went to a lot of "jams" in the Bronx ...

meet people.
DJ in the movie was a real DJ.

Not actors, but
real graffiti artists.

I saw it as a movie
that would be seen on 42nd Street.

This meant that the music
He had to be good ...

It had to have a good story
and good camera work.

To "Wild Style", embedded seen stand
Theater on 42nd Street ...

It was fantastic for everyone involved.

We have many other types of records
broken for Time Square cinema.

It was the second most popular film
Terms of Endearment was number one.

We did a presentation on 'The Mudclub "and
They brought all these different people are shown.

People from the Bronx, Harlem, Blooklyn
Blacks and Hispanics with Punks and new wave.

All those different people were
For the first time together.

Punk came from a lack of money
and the same was true for Hip Hop.

Pattie Astor and Charlie were
the first of the group Lower Eastside ...

That were inspired
What happened in the city.

Pattie brought him into the Lower Eastside
in "Fun gallery.

"I look for graffiti artists.
- We all graffiti artists.

Pattie had a small room in the basement
and building on 11nd Street.

She knew that many artists
He looked at the exhibition space.

"Can not these guys."

"What do they propose?
Artists? "

"I do not care arts."

"Does it mean anything?"

'Do not worry.
It is a party ".

2 years after he started Galery Fun
There were 100 galleries in the East Village.

The gallery was in someone's bathroom.

I was a firefighter in Little Italy
and the fire stopped ...

for the gallery and I brought it
Guests inside.

We went to a lot of holes
and survived free food.

Many galleries started well
turn and became mainstream.

Wall Street did well, art
World grew, and money began to roll.

Jean-Michel Basquiat was
the guy who slept on my floor ...

we had a lot of fun.
And then suddenly he became very wealthy.

And he changed the situation:

If you have no money'm not cool.
Before that it was the opposite.

Before that, I still hate him.

Given that messed up mentality
a lot of things.

When Jean-Michel was successful
Many people associated warned.

Maybe it's time to
coin shop in our success.

"Vortex" It was my breakthrough.

Beth and Scott asked me to role
and one after another.

For me it was the start of something
new, something bigger.

It looked fantastic.

"Hey, little angel."

"It's been too long."

"Yes? Not long enough for me."

It was much more expensive
and expectations were higher.

It was implicated in
what happened to me personally.

"I can not talk right now."

"I'll call you back."

Then he went to Scott and Beth B
although apart hostile.

It was the last film that Scott and I
They did together and ...

Production was difficult because
We could not work together properly.

Although the film attracted much attention.

"People like us can
depending on the lifetime of the system.

"And if you're against the system
the work that you were there. "

Vortex played at many film festivals.

And it got more attention than
Other films that came when New York.

"Where do you want to live in L.A.?"

"Malibu".

"It's in L.A.?
- Is there someplace. "

People go in different directions
Depending on where the first film is brought.

Smithereens was the first of the "Down Town"
films that were screened at the Cannes Film Festival.

This led to the production
'Desperately Seeking Susan'.

Smithereens and Stranger Than Paradise
and Spike Lee took the things that make us ...

He moved a culture where we belong
and they knew good stories to tell ...

and how could return to a broad audience.

When we Stranger Than Paradise
I told John Lurrie, you know ...

nobody has ever seen this movie so let
we make the film we wanted ourselves.

"Hi, I'm Eva.

"Yes, unfortunately.

"You Bela?"

"No".

"So I called earlier.
Call me Willie. "

"Not speaking Hungarian.
As long as you're here to speak only English. "

The first part I produced
a short film based on the ...

a story that John and I
He wrote together.

I was with the band workout
when we came up with the story together.

I play a gambler and Hungarian
No one can know my background ...

and then my niece comes to me.

When I made the film was cut
"Moviola machine ', I thought, two ...

other bits make it
make a feature film.

We shot the first half hour
for the weekend ...

and we had a fight with a person who
$ 7,000 paid for the first half hour ...

and he was jailed, and the negative
I stole a 35 mm copy of the negative ...

from his office under my raincoat.
There I was rather proud.

At a time when money was
finish the film ...

I got a role as a saint
the last temptation of Christ ...

so I had a big beard
to cultivate.

Those who were not shaved in Jim's movie
game, I wanted to work with Scorsese.

But Scorsese matter was postponed.

It took us one and a half year
to get the money together ...

So Eszter Balint, girl
games, going 16-18 ...

the last part of the film.

I could Eszter from its 14th

I often got into a squat theater.

It consisted of a group of Hungarian
New experimental theater artists who did it ...

who all lived together in a house.

They had a pawnshop on 23rd Street.

People from window
They were unwittingly part of the event.

Eszter so I knew that.

Richard Edson I knew
but not good.

He was the drummer of Sonic Youth.

John (Lurie) and I were friends.

Rockets played Redglare
smaller roles with him.

It's just all been noted.

We had just enough film
1½ insists on the scene.

If someone got the flu
It would be the end of the film.

After "Stranger" was released ... I was here
very poor, but suddenly famous.

It was a difficult period for me, though.

If you like "Stranger Than Paradise" was
You have to look at real cinema ...

and you had to stand in line.

It played in.

It was a transition.

The film reached a wider audience.

It was written on.

Independent film
community grew.

Films like "Stranger Than Paradise" and
"Variety" and Charlie 'Wild Style'.

We thought to make more films.

Work on the edge of Hollywood.

When the media received through what
It happened began to disintegrate.

There was a large group on weekends
People in the New Cinema.

The landlord said, "deserves
a lot of money now "...

and we were able to increase
paying rent. So it was closed.

"White King" played with
David Lynch's "Eraser Head.

I was invited to parties
with John Belushi and this kind of guests.

And I was totally seduced
and all my values went out the window.

"Underground USA" was about
the fall of the '70s superstars.

It was a commentary on the rise
and fall of my contemporaries.

It was like a snowball
but still grew.

Economic aspect changed
Rents went up.

A "Celebrity Culture" began
change in sample ...

that it is today.

Power was again
the scene is to be pumped.

The scene became too complacent.

Ideas were mixed with new ideas
New people ...

It remained to continue
But this has changed.

"Cinema transgression" was harder
and more sex and drugs-oriented ...

and it was a natural progression.

I think "Kino offense"
"No Wave" movement saw it happen ...

and they took them.

It was Nick's idea. You had
otherwise you will forget the title.

The idea of "They Eat Scum" come from
how the media demonizes Punk Rock.

I thought, what if I write the script
one still nihilistischere youth ...

and in case that the group for nuclear power plants
He goes and causes an accident like ...

terrorist attack. And so the whole
Field radiation.

Amos Poe arrived at the premiere
along with John Waters.

The whole idea that I was crazy.
"They Eat Scum" is still ...

One of my most
Favorite movie titles ever.

Wall Street Journal called it
goorste movie ever made.

"Please do something to stop it!"

And I found those negative attention
and indignation absolutely crazy.

In 1984, I met Richard Kern
and Tommy Turner ...

Super-8 films made.

I found that rebirth
Super-8 was important.

And the time is ripe for "Cinema
Make an offense "to the world.

He took other filmmakers on board
These films were made on a wall as p ...

David, Casandra Stark, Lung Leg.

And he wrote a manifesto
another name and published it ...

the number of film magazines.

Nick ZED manifesto is full
anger and humor.

A desire to do something new.

Then it really started to
Motion look.

We tried to make movies
mullet came, short and full of action.

It was straightforward
and "Here I Am" to be.

Anyone who has driven
do more extreme things.

If you would like to do something than if.

There could be a lot.

I did what in those days
which I would never dare to do ...

for fear of being arrested.

The content varies from No Wave films
but the origin is the same.

The same confrontational stuff
making Beth and I did.

They created there
The whole movement around it.

I am trying to push the boundaries
and elicit a response.

Scott B and B had Beth
A great influence on my filmmaking.

And I made my first film
with their super-8 camera.

Beth and Scott had just divorced
and Beth went with a friend ... ...

No, she went with Nick Zedd.

It was a group of people who all
lived in central New York ...

so they had relationships and then
She broke again and went with someone else.

But it's funny, or Cinema
Transgression was Nick ...

intentionally threw oil on the fire
with all those relationships.

He was dropped by Lydia Lunch and
He made a film about being dumped by Lydia.

Lydia took to London.

And what came out there was a film
Wild World of Lydia Lunch.

I wanted to capture this moment on film.

The film was, I walk the streets
with "fuck off and leave me alone" ...

tape I sent him
as the soundtrack. I was not happy about it.

But I always had respect for Nick.
It was a great writer.

Just had such a negative
The air around him.

As if suddenly a huge factor
entered. People fled.

Even though he did nothing
people hated him.

I always intimidated.

But to see him on the projector booth
with a smile, it was really touching.

I thought, "Thrust in Me", which I
a woman and a man playing.

I was hoping to offend people with him.

Posters for the film, which I liked
Woman pictured standing has been damaged.

And that was exactly the reaction
I was hoping for.

I wanted to offend homophobes.

Nick plays so that he sex
himself.

And then commits suicide.

I worked on 'The Manhattan Love
Suicide "and thought it fit him.

Manhattan Love Suicides Deals
people are so crazy about each other ...

they kill.

Richard Kern heard my music and
He asked if it could be used for the film.

Without a budget, the work of a film
They were funny, but the emotion ...

so more than he did.

It was on the top,
Almost Dada-istic.

Richards films are all
funny film about sex.

Very funny and politically courageous
films about sex.

People wore ideas and
It is like a snapshot of the time.

He said, I turn on the camera
and you do what you want.

You had this new generation
this gave insight into their sexual feelings.

And it was fun, adventurous,
and extremely hot.

Lydia was someone
worshiped from afar.

Richard and I felt onmoette
he was really on.

Our partnership felt so natural.

The right side of my brain was
my question for the ...

confident woman
mind.

It was purely instinctive.

And now Richard
exactly what I wanted.

Lydia had "sketches" a couple
He wrote and asked if I ...

He wanted to act in one of his scenes.

I had the "right side of my brain Made
Lydia and people like ...

pornographic and sexist.

And I said, wait
until you see the next film.

We try to be as offensive
How is it possible.

I "Fingered" I saw Lydia Lunch.

This was one of the most
awesome, funny ...

scary and strange
movie I have ever seen.

It's a deadline verknaller
psychotics.

If you were dating and married his girlfriend
to "Fingered" and she said ...

the film was a gift. Then you know that
You can expect to have sex. But what kind of sex?

The right side of my brain and were Fingered
psycho therapy for the public.

Since no one at the time,
about this kind of love for anxiety.

It was the expansion of gewelddagige.

Fueled riots, Charles Manson
The Son of Sam.

And I designed the trauma out.

You will be beaten and then turn your back.

The name sounds like a porno film.

But it was the intention of the people
let despise sex.

It was actually "anti-porn.

We showed what we
themselves were not so shocking ...

But people feel
really offended.

"Fingers" bait really whistling outside.

"Fingered" as realistic.

It seemed like a snuff film.

I do not think they ever trust
snuff movies are made, but ...

It contributed to
Explicit of those films.

It at every moment something
Grof could really happen.

Shocking was really important
because it helped people wake up.

I was invited to the Berlin Film Festival
show "Fingered". It was the premiere.

He was portrayed with
John Waters film, and yet ...

Before the shooting hearing
Those Boos.

I went to the podium and said:
This film was made for people like you.

DEATH TRAP!

The rest went projections
from chaotic there.

But I came there
On the front of the "Variety".

After they are beaten
screening of the reaction.

It's not applause, but
opposite.

The worst thing would be if no one did anything.

I was invited to Sweden
arrive at the airport and ...

I was arrested
Police because I did movies with me.

I was put in a cell for a while
They studied my films.

I was told that I was three years
He can get the production of these films.

When he discovered my lawyer scrambled
Authorities already back ...

But I was not movies
exhibit in Sweden.

So I took my movies
and showed them in Sweden.

To protest against art and film
It is absolutely ridiculous in my opinion.

It's always nice to work with Richard
because it has so much fun in his work.

Sometimes, the camera shaking as he
laughing so hard.

He's a little erratic version
Clark Kent.

People had image
in a bad filmmaker.

I made 'Evil Cameraman "as
the answer to those comments ...

these people had in me.

I felt at the end of that
This could be my own paranoia.

This can happen, as Warhol film
and someone shot me.

There were violent
stigma about the movies.

But even then circulated
There are video copies.

Lydia said that it is now the new home video
is in. We must take advantage.

So I started these movies on video by mail
To sell and it ran storm.

Richard wanted to do things
We never dared with our films.

But if you then look to mainstream movies
Our films are harmless in comparison.

The culture in which we fought
It is now more widely accepted.

We are now more willing to overlook
talking about sex and politics.

They said that it should not then at the Museum
Modern Art, but that soon changed.

However, it was demonstrated in
The Museum of Modern Art.

When Picasso showed his work
It was the first time nothing.

But now, it is useful arts.

We worked with a limited budget
that freed us from the need to make profits.

But people who pornography and exploitation of horrors
based their decisions on profit expectations.

That is why our films are sincere.

Nick Zedd doing it for the money.

He is not commercial.

I was attracted
by this type of people.

And if those people have other values
It is quite interesting.

Those filmmakers appeared in
a very special time.

America was the right-hander after
Reagan became president.

Thatcher in England.

Nick Zedd's film Agreement
Cold war and capitalism.

Especially in the case of "Men Bogus".

A "War is Mentrual Envy" as.

Have you been to 80 A
the real threat of nuclear war.

Does it happen or not?

And that threat can be found at
films of the era.

Many artists thought
they would end up behind a high wall ...

or anytime wiped
Such action could.

They thought that their freedom of expression
every moment can end.

Many right politicie insisted
no public funds were spent ...

for artworks, which are tasteless
or considered anti-social.

It became a sort of Philip
K. Dick iaans era in which ...

It seems that nothing makes sense
and everything is unreal.

Maybe we live in
five years on Mars.

Everything seems like a weird
Sci-fi film.

All great change in America
start dinner.

So I hope that tomorrow night
talk while eating ...

And children, if your parents do not
tells how to be a good American ...

let them know there is a pick up.

That is what would make a good American.

"You killed me first" was a big
a film about a struggling family.

Karen Finley, David Wojnarowicz
and Lung Leg.

I tried to shoot
mind put down.

I thought, if I do it, everybody
The story has a clear position.

It's about a family who oppress their daughter
and daughter to come back and kill her family.

"You killed me first 'plays
those who preach family values Reagan.

"You killed me First" was inspired
on true stories.

Most of them were based on David
Wojnarowicz's own experience.

He was attracted to
Cinema transgressions ...

But he was also repelled
because he was much more confrontational with ...

the basic political will, because busy
him because of his AIDS related directly.

He wanted these homophobic, racist
Denouncing the government.

This caused much
politically charged art.

And David Wojnarowicz found
on the front line.

Reagan did everything to investigate
AIDS slowdown.

So knowing that for a long time
We have nothing about this disease.

Klaus Nomi was one of the first who
this mysterious disease.

Suddenly, more and more
people are sick or have died ...

and people started me
confide their secrets.

"Do not tell anyone
but I hivpositief.

A lot of people told me ...

and one of my brother there.

So keep these secrets
it was very hard for me.

Because you knew that ... it was like they were in the arena against
wall standing, ready to be released.

Did you see the empty city.

We do not even know how many
We then lost souls.

It was the general mood
where we then lived.

Life and death are close to each other.

This happened at the same time as when
people have expensive dinners ...

Andy Warhol in a tent and bottles
Crystal left and right on the table ...

and we drove into the limousine and
There you have it Madonna and Keith Haring.

And then undercurrent of anxiety
among all the festivities.

All who responded to filmmakers
economic and social events.

But they responded very differently.

It had a magical element.
The idea to shoot yourself ...

And Cassandra made films about
Life on the Lower East Side at the time.

There was a vulnerability
innocence in these films.

A incomprehensible interpretation
reality.

And because I was in love with her
I found that quite funny results.

My landlord had illegally
a way to put your name on the document ...

and the police came to my house
and dumped the contents of her wardrobe ...

in moving boxes and clocks
everything was loaded into a truck ...

a man said to be homeless
I'll drive you to sleep?

Your possessions are in a warehouse in the Bronx
Can I take on one of the homeless sleep.

Landlords put their own buildings
on fire for the insurance sum.

A lot of people were
just put on the street.

This was when the top
Lower East Side has been refurbished.

To rid the area, allegedly,
drug dealers and undesirable elements ...

The mayor put a policy in motion on
the neighborhood, make it attractive for wealthier citizens.

The government sent police and
He started bothering us.

I decided to do satire
their behavior in the movie "police state".

In the mid-80s L.E. Side
infested with drugs.

It looked like the government of heroin
District eaves of eradicating it and ...

then they could pick up the building.

Drug destroyed much
creative energy.

It was heartbreaking.

I was afraid of Richard's films
because they were too confrontational for me.

Cassandra Stark had complete
Cinema rejection offense.

Nick Zedd announced that
Some of these people were deceased.

Then there were rumors
Nick's own death.

And when I played
Seeking a way out of the drug.

Once Kino offense was
He announced that began quarreling among elkaaar.

And it suppressed consensus
in the event that any at all.

There was much bickering among themselves.

It sounds silly, but
You had all these little rivalry.

Yes, I would like once again Richard
the pan upside strike.

I wanted to work on my own films.
It has nothing to do with Nick Zedd ...

or a manifesto.

Events in Downtown East Village
He reached a peak.

There appeared a police riot and they
He held a big fence around ...

rotate Tompkin Square Park.

Fence with barbed wire.
This reminded me of Eastern Europe.

During the Cold War.

At the same time began
MTV to be great.

That was the end
to "Downtown" and ...

and the beginning of the commercialization
from "Downtown".

You have a certain political and economic
changes and it was ...

the land of plenty for owners
and the art world there killed.

New York has always
Turned handeltjes.

It is built on a warped and money matters.

It started as a trading post.

And as the city grew around it.

It's always been all about business,
trade and crime ...

and what is the one from the other
can steal.

And so it is now only
it relates to the property.

I was given quite suddenly from my house.

And I wish the landlord to return.

I completely destroyed the house.

One hand and throw something
with the other, that the shooting.

You could not see to do
something flew across the room.

It was kind of a tornado.

That whole period was filmatische time.

It was not formed.
It was a purposeful survival.

People have a lot of risks
and many went dead.

And if there are influences of his work from this period
to the left, then it may be the reason.

It was such a rough time.

Whether acute Heroin
Addiction was ...

or hardcore music ...

or to minimalist film.

It was all about my limits
explore and cheat death.

Nobody was reluctant.

Nobody tried to make beautiful things
or idealize.

They said the ugly naked truth ...

how they feel and live.

Therefore, Kino offense
No Wave and still such a strong influence.

These films were made with passion.

They were perhaps naive
or badly made ...

but they had the integrity that
Visible to go.

Indie Films ... This is the place where the movement started.
With the type of films we've done.

When I started working as an actor
I missed that mentality ...

from that time, when people
They worked together and inspired each other.

So I tried it
to create for themselves.

We have tried to make the film more accessible
that goes beyond the big corporations.

That is now changing, thanks
what we did then.

But it is still difficult
raise money for the film.

With the internet and availability
technology to keep your own records or films ...

and self publishing wereldweid
You do not need to go to Hollywood.

But at that time it was the only place to go
could go and the idea that you cared.

Means, which now have a computer
and technology has completely democratized filmmaking.

We could then only
sen.

And it has our attention
changed the world.

The most important thing for me
the power of thought and expression.

This is the main
the power that people have.

I like to think of all those lying murderous
thieves who have all the political power ...

and financial strength.

Everything that power can not compete
power of ideas.

So I say forget the past
and let the future come.
