Rev's long admired the work of Jon Reiss who first screened at the festival in 1999 with the excellent examination of electronic and dance culture, Better Living through Circuitry - which in itself has gained cult status.  With Bomb It!, Reiss turns his attention back to alternative youth culture, this time focussing on the world of graffiti.  Not confining himself to a single location or state of mind, Reiss globetrots across the US, Europe, Africa and Asia and at a cracking pace explores the art, the streets and the people behind the cans.

What builds the pedigree of the work even higher is the involvement of producer Jeffrey Levy-Hinte, editor of the Oscar winning When We Were Kings, whose film Soul Power blazed across Rev screens last year, and who is the Executive Producer of another of this year's films, Cropsey.

Director Jon Reiss is a guest of Rev, he will introduce the Friday July 16 screening and engage in a Q&A. Reiss is also running the day long Think Outside The Box Workshop on Saturday 17 July.

Screens with Looploop and After the Rainbow

PLEASE NOTE: There will be a special pre-screening party hosted by SixThousand on Friday July 16 from 5.30pm.  This event is expected to sell out so Revelation recommends getting tickets in advance.
