DVD-Flyin’ Cut Sleeves

€24,95 Original price was: €24,95.€19,95Current price is: €19,95.

-From the late 1960s into the ’70s, Rita Fecher taught in the South Bronx, a community then riddled with street gangs and violent crime. Rather than shy away from the young gangsters, Fecher got involved, introducing herself to the gang leaders and their members, ultimately documenting their lives in a series of highly candid interviews. FLYIN’ CUT SLEEVES sees Fecher return to the community 20 years later to visit with some of her previous subjects, inviting them to revisit their experiences and reveal the life choices they made in the intervening decades.

 

-Rita Fecher and Henry Chalfant direct this intimate documentary portrait of gang life in the New York Bronx from the late 1960s to the early 1990s. Set against a backdrop of uprooted families, cultural alienation, drugs and violence, the development of gang culture was not an entirely negative force; in fact, these ‘families’ often had a stabilising effect on the community, enabling the youths to cope with their troubled environment.

Description

DVD: Flyin’Cut Sleevs
Produced and directed: Henry Chalfant, Rita Fecher
Released: 2009
Language: English
Running Time: Ca. 60 Min.

(1993, Henry Chalfant & Rita Fecher) A gritty portrait of South Bronx gangs shot over three decades from the late 60s to the 90s, shows a far different northern borough then now. With archival footage shot in primitive monochromatic video giving a voice to gang members and leaders (including interviews with Black Benji from the Savage Nomads and Blackie Mercado from the Savage Skulls) it shows the other side of gangs, as protectors, role models, and positive influences in their community, from cleaning up empty lots to helping kids with homework. Shot by Fecher who taught in the Bronx in the 60s, with Chalfant who documented graffiti in the area, Flyin’ Cut Sleeves weaves footage of gangs then and what came of them (mostly staying in the borough) in the early nineties.
