Bushel Presents a Screening of All the Streets Are Silent August 18

DELHI — As part of its Community Film Picks series, Bushel is pleased to present a screening of All the Streets Are Silent (2021), a documentary film directed by Jeremy Elkin that looks at the momentous convergence of hip hop and skateboarding in the late 1980s and early 90s in downtown Manhattan. This screening, takes place on Friday, August 18; doors at 6:45 pm; screening begins at 7 pm, and is followed by a Q&A with the film’s narrator Eli Gesner and Dave Ortiz who appears in the film. This program is free and open to the public. Bushel is located at 106 Main Street, Delhi.

Narrated by Zoo York co-founder Eli Gesner with an original score by legendary hip-hop producer Large Professor (Nas, A Tribe Called Quest), All the Streets Are Silent brings to life the magic of the time period and the collision of two vibrant subcultures–skateboarding and hip hop–that created a style and visual language that would have an outsized and enduring cultural effect. From the DJ booths and dance floors of the Mars nightclub to the founding of brands like Supreme, this convergence would lay the foundation for modern street style. All the Streets Are Silent is a love letter to New York–examining race, society, fashion, and street culture. 

Bushel thanks Delhi residents Dave Ortiz and Ulli Barta for picking this film!
