We’re very excited to attend the New York premiere of Downtown Calling taking place tomorrow, Wednesday, July 28th at the New York International Latino Film Festival.

The film is a snapshot into New York, “the greatest city in the world” from the late-1970′s to mid-1980′s.  With a failing economy, crime on the rise and massive housing corruption, New York became a city in crisis.  During this time of social and economic quandary emerged a new class of musicians, artists and thinkers downtown.  Downtown Calling examines the evolution of New York City’s music and art scene during this period and its lasting impact, which continues to drive today’s international fashion, art, and music.  The film is narrated by the infamous Deborah Harry (Blondie) and includes commentary by Glenn O’Brien (Downtown81/TV Party), Sal Principato (Liquid Liquid), and Fab 5 Freddy, to name a few.

If you’re in New York, we highly recommend checking out the film. 
Purchase a ticket here (ticket includes admission to the afterparty). Screening starts at 9PM.
