      Great to play a small part in helping to restore some genuine Hip-Hop history - Style Wars had such a massive impact outside of the US and definitely educated me as a young kid in England discovering Hip-Hop culture in the early-80s - congratulations to Henry and the team for reaching the pledge goal and best of luck with the restoration process.

      Henry, back in the 80's Style Wars brought New York graffiti and hip hop to Europe. We used to watch the vcr tape, recorded from tv, over and over again until the tape faded and all we could do is lipsink along with the audio. This movie inspired us to become who we are and we'll be forever grateful to you for making it.

Starting out as a sculptor in New York in the 1970s, HENRY CHALFANT turned to photography and film to do an in-depth study of hip-hop culture and graffiti art. He became one of the foremost authorities on New York subway art and other aspects of urban youth culture. His photographs record hundreds of ephemeral art works that have long since vanished. To Chalfant's credit are three of the most influential documentations of aerosol art. He co-authored the book Subway Art(1984) with Martha Cooper and he co-produced the film Style Wars (1983) with director Tony Silver. In 1987 Chalfant co-authored the book Spraycan Art with James Prigoff, documenting the global expansion of graffiti. Each one of these documentary efforts have been embraced by the international graffiti community and they have served as cultural blueprints for graffiti art movements around the world. Chalfant also directed with Rita Fecher a documentary on South Bronx gangs, Flyin’ Cut Sleeves (1994) and he directed From Mambo to Hip Hop (2006) portraying two generations of Latino youth growing up in the South Bronx.
