About: The Blank Generation (1976) The early days of the New York punk scene are captured in this vivid film time capsule created by Amos Poe (Frogs for Snakes) and Ivan Kral, songwriter and former guitarist for the Patti Smith Group. Legendary performances by the Ramones, Blondie, The Talking Heads, Wayne County and the Heartbreakers, filmed live in gritty, silent, black-and-white at CBGBs in 1976, are paired with historic contemporary recordings by each group. Chroniclers of early punk believe these may be the earliest - if not the only - existing film footage of many of these bands from this formative period. (1976) TVPG (0:53) Stereo/BW 02/07/03 -

05:45 am ET SUND - Downtown 81 (2000)
About: Downtown 81 (2000) Before he shot to international fame in the art world, Jean-Michel Basquiat acted in this energetic, semi-biographical fantasy about a struggling artist and musician in the boho world of New York's Lower Manhattan. Nearly twenty years after the film was shot in 1980 and '81, by fashion photographer Edo Bertoglio from a script by rock critic and producer Glenn O'Brien, this feature's footage was rediscovered; what was originally a film to be called New York Beat reached screens two decades later with a title that reflects its unique historic value. Here is a fascinating shot-on-the-streets glimpse of a New York that no longer exists: when graffiti was emerging as a controversial new art form, in which West 42nd Street was a notorious arcade of sleaze and vice, and where performers like Kid Creole and the Coconuts, James White and the Blacks and the Japanese new wave band The Plastics were packing them in at the newest downtown clubs. Besides Basquiat, who was to die of an overdose only eight years later and whose life became the subject of fellow New York artist Julian Schnabel's award-winning 1996 dramatic film, Downtown 81 also features Deborah Harry in the role of a magical street person. 02/09/03 -
