All the Streets Are Silent: The Convergence of Hip Hop and Skateboarding (1987–1997)
Dokumentar som skildrer møtet mellom to vitale subkulturer – skateboarding og hiphop – i New York fra slutten av 1980-tallet. Synergien spredte seg gjennom alt fra filmer, videoer og musikk til nye klesmerker som Supreme og Zoo York.
Mixtape
Mixtapes have an out-sized role in the emergence of hip hop around the world. Before radio play, the internet, and social media, there were mixtapes. No matter where you lived, you could pop a cassette into a tape deck, and be transported to a party halfway around the world. DJs were taste makers, trendsetters and creators of the sound that became the biggest musical genre on the planet. A meteoric rise for an art form not yet 50 years old. The importance of mixtapes goes well beyond the tapes themselves. Mixtapes were a form of currency. A signifier that you were In-The-Know and had your ear to the streets. A skeleton key to the underground. The culture was too strong to be stopped, and the artists were too talented to be ignored - so they turned the sub-culture into the mainstream, and made hip hop what it is today.

All the Streets Are Silent: The Convergence of Hip Hop and Skateboarding (1987-1997)
New Yorks gater har ligget stille i et år under pandemien, men tidlig på 90-tallet var det annerledes; da blomstret de. To fremtredende subkulturer, skatere og hiphopere, møttes i en symbiotisk sammensmelting. Ut fra dette møtet spiret gatekulturen som fremdeles karakteriserer store deler av verdens urbane miljøer i dag, både med tanke på lydbilde og visuell estetikk. All the Streets are Silent skildrer epoken der den oppsto, gjennom menneskene som var der, på gatene i New York.
