1UP - One United Power: Worldwide

Never before has there been a film like this. It tells the story of a crew of graffiti artists, from their beginnings in Berlin's Kreuzberg district to their global creative movement. It's about a crew bound by a selfless unity, whose name has propelled them to a level few other crews reach. Driven by the philosophy: One crew, one love. For eight years, "One Up" traveled the globe, spraying color like a dog marking walls. The film follows the artists on the subway through Berlin, in a tuk-tuk through Bangkok, barefoot in São Paulo, masked through Paris, with baklava in Istanbul, chased by street dogs in Bucharest, and back to the tram tunnels of Kreuzberg. It's an adrenaline-fueled film that shows what's possible in graffiti writing. Anything is possible.

Fritz the Cat

In late 1960s New York City, fed up with monotonous college life and police repression, free-spirited Fritz, an impenitent seducer and unrestrained party-animal, decides to explore the world. And just like that, as he flees NYC, heading to San Francisco, Fritz embarks on an endless adventure of illumination. Immersed in a world surrounded by drugs and sex, Fritz participates in mad orgies, brings about a revolution, incites mass urban riots, and crosses paths with drug-addled Nazi bikers.

Heavy Traffic

A white dropout struggles to become a cartoonist and filmmaker, drawing inspiration from the harsh, gritty world around him. Still sharing his rundown apartment with his middle-aged parents, an oafish slob of an Italian father and a ditzy nutcase of a Jewish mother, he's ridiculed and looked down upon by his friends, hypocrites who run with violent gangs and the Italian Mafia, and a shallow Black girl who makes her living downtown with the pimps and pushers. The cartoonist gets a chance to pitch a film idea to a movie mogul, but the story proves too outrageous: a far-future Earth, depleted by war and pollution, where a mutant antihero challenges and kills God.
