{a film by tamra davis}

 

More than 20 years after his death, Jean-Michel Basquiat's friend Tamra Davis releases a documentary highlighting never before seen footage of the artist filmed in 1986. The documentary which premiered at Sundance last month is said to set the record straight on Julian Schnabel’s fictional film Basquiat.

Dizzy Gillespie's "Salt Peanuts, Salt Peanuts!" was enough to sell me on this doc and I will definitely be taking a trip to my local theater or playhouse to get an insiders intimate look at one of the most famous African-American contemporary artist of our time.
