''Stations of the Elevated'' is a 1981 documentary film by Manfred Kirchheimer about graffiti in New York City. It debuted at the New York Film Festival. It was re-released June 27, 2014 and shown at the Brooklyn Academy of Music and will be re-released throughout the United States in the fall of 2014. Reviews were generally positive. ==Background== Kirchheimer had come to the United States as a child in 1936 with his parents to escape Nazi Germany. He filmed ''Stations of the Elevated'' in 1977 and he had not known anyone who created graffiti before he started. Most people viewed graffiti artists as a nuisance at best and vandals at worst. Kirchheimer wanted to "elevate" their work as suggested in the title.〔〔〔 He told ''NPR'' that he would drive to the Bronx and film the trains going overhead:〔 Since the making of the film, New York City has completely eradicated graffiti appearing on subway cars, so the film documents an art form that no longer exists.〔 ''Stations of the Elevated'' debuted in 1981 at New York Film Festival. The 2014 release of ''Stations of the Elevated'' is newly restored and is nearly 33 years after the first release. When it was first released, it received no reviews and was essentially forgotten after its premier at the New York Film Festival. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Stations of the Elevated」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
