Anti-Graffiti Vigilantes are Vandals?
Matching or even exceeding the persistence of graffiti writers, older white men have appeared in several cities, vigorously buffing and painting over tags, stickers and all types of graffiti art. The paradox? These anti-graffiti vigilantes are vandals themselves, as they typically paint over graffiti without the property owner or city’s permission, often doing more physical damage than what they’re actually covering up.

vigilantefilm.comTumblrs! Check this doc out if it’s coming to your city! It’s still looking for distribution etc. and it’s so good.
The documentary “stalkumentary” is about the freedom/merits of street art, tagging and graffiti, and the battle of expression between these artists, the Law, and a new third party- the independent graffiti buffers who take to the streets to either remove or paint over graffiti in their area. It’s fascinating, and entertaining to boot!
