Beautiful Losers UK Premiere and knees up!

Landing on the UK shores like an elegant swan on a mill pond, Beautiful Losers is premiering at the London Film Festival this weekend.

Throughout the nineties, artists such as Shephard Fairey, Ed Templeton and Geoff McFetridge became part of a creative network that was hailed as the new beat generation. Taking influence from skateboarding, graffiti and independent music, their work came to define a new generation of artist born on the street. Beautiful Losers, a documentary film from Aaron Rose, celebrates the spirit behind what could be one of the most influential movements of our time.

With that said, maybe you'll want to get involved in the shindig? Get yourself along to Cordy House after the premiere to celebrate the achievements of Aaron Rose et al by raising your glass, nibbling on a few dry roasted and seeing off a paw full of Bombay mix.
