“The streets of N.Y. might be temporarily silent, but in downtown Manhattan in the early 90’s, they were the site of a dynamic collision between two vibrant subcultures: skateboarding and hip hop. Jeremy Elkin’s yet-to-premiere documentary, All The Streets Are Silent, narrated by Eli Morgan Gesner, brings to life the magic of this time period and the convergence that created an urban style and visual language that would have an outsized and lasting cultural effect.

If Paris Is Burning and KIDS had a baby, you’d have this documentary love letter to New York—examining race, society, fashion and street culture—and full of archival footage featuring legendary characters and figures from the downtown scene.” - Tribeca Film Festival

 

“Director Jeremy Elkin does an impressive job of knitting together multiple and often converging stories, helped along by narrator Eli Morgan Gesner, co-founder of the skateboard company Zoo York. Gesner’s archival footage forms a big part of the film along with a dope soundtrack from Large Professor.” - The Tyee

“The important thing is that the raw spirit and energy of the NYC street scene is captured in this do, rubbing off on the audience making ALL THE STREETS ARE SILENT an amazing watch.” - AfroToronto

“full of the roaring streets of New York City with a subculture of boarding and rap and hip-hop music.” - Set the Bar
