Plot
Storyline
Style Wars is a legendary documentary, filmed in 1983, which helped the graffiti movement from New York to spread around the world. 30 years later, Veli and Amos, two Style Wars fans from Europe, trip through today's graffiti and street art scene. The journey takes them from Europe to New York and ends in the Middle East. Style Wars 2 features encounters with graffiti artists and presents different artistic views. Along the way, Veli and Amos also happen to attend boxing fights in New York and visit hair dressers in the West Bank. Even though the movie's main focus is on graffiti, it also raises topics like art, politics and lifestyle.
On the internet, Veli and Amos discover a subway car emblazoned with the words "Style Wars 2". Intrigued, the duo head out - with no money - to find the graffiti's author. Their journey leads them from Europe to the USA and the Middle East, through galleries and war zones, in search of the street art world of our time. An allusive, highly entertaining graffiti documentary reflecting topics such as subculture, lifestyle and the intermingling of politics and art. Marked by pop-cultural iconography and an artistic point of view, the film is an extremely multi-layered and contemporary reference to the cult documentary Style Wars (1983), in which Tony Silver and Henry Chalfant zoomed into the New York breakdance and graffiti scene of their time.
