MARC-AURELE VECCHIONE
Born in 1972 in Paris, he first filmed the concerts of his friends - singers and musicians – while he was a student in architecture. He took advantage of the appearance of digital cameras to manage his work production and developped an autonomous structure that will later become Resistance Films. At the end of his studies, he decided to devote himself entirely to images. He made clips (particularly for the group Assassin) and musical documentaries and made and produced several short films.

Paris 1983, they are between 14 and 18 and repeatedly write their name on the city walls. They are inspired by the New York graffiti phenomena; they create their own style, impose their letters and inspire an entire generation. We call them the Writers. All those who had an impact on the graffiti story in Paris tell how styles, techniques and supports evolved and how they managed to impose their signature in the capital city. This documentary reveals the unknown adventure of those who perpetuate the spirit of this genuine and essential movement.

“It is a film that recounts the entire graffiti epic in France from 1983 to 2003 by giving the origins of each subject. To gather the movement’s main protagonists’ testimonies is the greatest achievement of Writers.” (Kévin)
