GESSO - The Art of Streetpainting

"GESSO ~ The Art of Street Painting"

is an independent, international feature Film. A documentary about the origins, diversity, spirit, appeal and growing popularity worldwide of modern day Street Painting. And a tribute to Street Painters, Festivals and Fans world wide.

This "˜road movie' will take you to different countries and cultures, and tells the story of street painting through the eyes and hands of 7 artists, coming from very different social, cultural and artistic backgrounds, but united by their passion for pavement art. The film portrays beauty and hardship, the importance of unattachment, societal relevance and individual inspiration, drive and perseverance.


The film, which will have its YouTube premier in 2017, is the first feature documentary to introduce Street Painting to the public at large, with a truly cool behind the scenes look into the colourful life of the modern day pavement art scene world wide.

We started this labour-of-love film project from scratch in 2010, and have now arrived at the very end of the creative process. We made it through post-production safe&sound, paid for music rights. Now it's time to promote the film and may even host a well deserved and official Red Carpet Event. For that, we definitely can use your support. By sharing the youtube-link after the launch, and/or by donating.

It's very much appreciated. We promise you won´t regret it!
