Rash 12A*

Scratch it and it spreads...Winner of the Best Australian Feature Documentary Award 2005 from the Film Critics Circle of Australia
This award-winning film looks at the contemporary urban expression that is unsanctioned street art. If you know Melbourne, you might recognise the tags and styles from the street, but as the city prepares to host the 2006 Commonwealth Games, public dialogue heats up.
Abandoned corners and high-profile spaces showcase the poetic brilliance of its young graffiti artists, from the raw stencil symbolism of Psalm, to KAB101’s futuristic fantasy wildstyles. True Live’s Ryan Ritchie provides a pulsating soundtrack to this thrilling film experience.
