Capitol Friday 23.00

“When you’re so into something, it can feel like it’s you against the world. That’s where the word loneliness comes from. But you’re not alone.”

Tunnel Vision follows the hardcore graffiti bomber “Rolex”, dedicated to a lost and rare discipline in the Stockholm graffiti scene – Painting hard-to-access innercity subway stations, knowing that as soon as he sets his foot next to the station platform, police and transit security will be on their way. In these 3-5 minutes he doesn’t feel stress, instead, with intense focus, graffiti becomes an act of self-realisation and freedom.

Music has always played a big part in graffiti film and Tunnel Vision is no exception, labelling itself as a “stockholm graffiti documentary music mixtape”, featuring an original score by Woesum, Jonatanleandoer96, DJ Crime and Traintrax.

Premiering at Way out West, this one-night-only visual and musical experience of Tunnel Vision will take you into the Stockholm underground and some of the minds behind it. To kick things off, the nighttime screening at Bio Capitol will start with DJ Crime setting the mood before the film is shown its entirety. After, DJ Crime will resume, playing experimental electronic music influenced by his youth as a graffiti-painter, with samples including quotes from nordic crime dramas (ex Beck) and cult films like “dom kallar oss mods” as well as Swedish hiphop bangers from classic graffiti film like Area08 accompanied by deleted scenes, that won’t be shown at future screenings, for an extended cut.
