We Are! The Beautiful Losers

Éste documental ha estado dando vueltas por el mundo la mayor parte de lo que va del año. Lamentablemente no ha llegado a nuestras manos pero pronto pronto! A mi me faltan palabras, así que me encontré ésto por ahí:
The greatest cultural accomplishments in history have never been the result of the brainstorms of marketing men, corporate focus groups, or any homogenized methods; they have always happened organically. More often than not, these manifestations have been the result of a few like-minded people coming together to create something new and original for no other purposethan a common love of doing it. In the 1990s, a loose-knit group of American artists and creators, many just out of their teens, began their careers in just such a way. Influenced by the popular underground youth subcultures of the day, such as skateboarding, graffiti, street fashion and independent music, artists like Shepard Fairey, Mark Gonzales, Spike Jonze, Margaret Kilgallen, Mike Mills, Barry McGee, Phil Frost, Chris Johanson, Harmony Korine, and Ed Templeton began to create art that reflected the lifestyles they led. Many had no formal training and almost no conception of the inner workings of the art world. They learned their crafts through practice, trial and error, and good old-fashioned innovation. Not since the Beat Generation have we seen a group of creative individuals with such a unified aesthetic sense and varied cultural facets. The world of art has been greatly affected by their accomplishments as have the worlds of fashion, music, literature, film, and, ironically, athletics. Over the years, the group has matured, and many have become more establishment-oriented; but no matter, their independent spirit has remained steadfast. The story of the Beautiful Losers will be a retrospective celebration of this spirit.
Esperemos pronto poder compartirlo con ustedes... Mientras tanto, éste es el pretexto perfecto para dejarles unas cuantas movas de Harmony Korine para que las vean éste fin en sus hogares ya que el concierto de los Presets se pospuso hasta el próximo año, ni modo. Si alguien tiene alguna duda sobre subtítulos, codecs etc. por favor dejen un comment. Enjoy!
