American Artifact chronicles the rise of American rock poster art since its birth in the ’60s. Groovy, baby!
Director Merle Becker crosses the country interviewing rock poster artists from the different eras to discover that America is currently in the midst of a 21st century “rock poster art movement”, where thousands of artists around the country are doing silk screened rock poster art inspired by their local scene, the music of our time, and the spirit of our era.
The film features interviews with renown artists including Stanley Mouse, Victor Moscoso, Frank Kozik, Art Chantry (I know, what's a guy that goes by the name "Art" gonna do in life? Sell refrigerators!), Emek Golan, Tara McPherson, Derek Hess, Chris Cooper, Jay Ryan, and more, as well as fans, collectors, and musicians.
Scheduled release for the film is June 20th, 2009.

Let's face it. We're still in Romania, so we won't see it.
The same shit happened when I tried to get my hands on a documentary film produced by Doug Gray, screened at The Sundance Film Festival 2009, in January. Still I haven't seen a reply yet, on my e-mail asking for a possibility to see that documentary. "Art&Copy". Great documentary.
Just wait for the torrents to get up there, man. You won't see movies like these at least five years from now. I've seen the trailer for "Art & Copy", and it's a good one. Thanks for the tip, bro.
