Foundations Documentary Trailer (NYC late 70s, early 80s)
Trailer for Foundations Documentary
Anybody have more information on this documentary? It was posted on YouTube 5 months ago but I can't find anything on it and am pressed for time.
It's kind of a nostalgia thing for me. Outside of hip hop, this was the last big period of New York's cultural dominance in the alternative and experimental arts and I was watching it closely from a distance cause I chose to stay in North Carolina rather than heading for the East Village in the early 80s.
I would seriously regret that choice if we hadn't had so much fun in NC at the time followed by a move to San Francisco in 1989 where I caught one of the last big waves of that city's counter culture. That's not entirely gone but San Francisco was severely decimated by the tech boom's effect on rent in the late 90s for both grassroots organizations and low income artists and activists like myself.
