The landmark hip-hop film presented as a special Easter event, featuring the hip-hop pioneer Grandmaster Caz in the building.

Wild Style is the cinematic blueprint for hip hop, capturing a cultural explosion as it fused music, art, dance and fashion. Shot in 1981, it features key figures including Grandmaster Caz (with The Cold Crush Brothers), Fab Five Freddy, Lee Quiñones, Lady Pink, The Rock Steady Crew and Grandmaster Flash. 

The story follows Raymond, a Puerto Rican graffiti artist known as “Zoro”, as hip hop emerges and the scene faces the pull of the mainstream. Part drama, part snapshot, its style, characters and performers come directly from the community that built the culture.

We're thrilled to announce that Grandmaster Caz, widely known as Hip-Hop's 1st and greatest MCs will be at the screening and will take part in a Q&A following the screening, with trailblazing turntablist and musical polymath NikNak.
