BLVD is adding another art form to its repertoire: film. This Friday night, they're kicking off the Uniplex film series:

An evening of films by, about, and featuring the best of the Urban Contemporary art movement. Uniplex is an effort to bring a greater understanding to the general public of what has become the most influential global art movement of the 21st century, Urban/Street art . The first installment in the series features two short films, Fish Tales and Barnstormers 360, and the feature film Quality of Life.

Quality of Life is about two legendary graffiti artists from San Francisco's Mission District. "Barnstormers 360" is a time-lapse film documenting the disassembly, reassembly, and painting of a 1930s tobacco barn. And "Fish Tales" is about a quest for a skateable fish, something so cool that even Urban Dictionary can't help us decode what it is.
