The Tribeca Festival is back in 2021, fresh from the pandemic, bringing with it its 20th anniversary celebration and exciting new films — all live from your living room through “Tribeca at Home.”

Tribeca at Home is a unique experience tailored to those who are excited to get back to normalcy, but err on the side of caution — one decision that this film buff greatly appreciates as the world begins to slowly come out of quarantine.

Among its offerings, this year’s festival brings us a ground-breaking documentary by famed production house, Elkin Editions and its founder Jeremy Elkin, “All the Streets Are Silent.” The film, which sets its stage in the transformative era of late-80s-to-mid-90s New York, tells the tale of the nuclear fusion of hip hop and skateboarding, as well as the explosion of creative power that tore through the world and time/space, creating some of the most iconic music, movies, and brands.

“All the Streets Are Silent,” narrated by the legendary Eli Morgan Gesner and a host of the city’s best (DJ Clark Kent, Stretch Armstrong, Bobbito, Rosario Dawson, Moby, Jefferson Pang, Keith Hufnagel — the list keeps going), serves as a necessary telling of the historic rise of skateboarding’s influence on mainstream fashion, music, and film.

Through masterful storytelling from the nexus of it all, the film describes how a group of individuals came together through a common way of life and, through their ethos, were able to create such iconic household names as Zoo York, Supreme, HUF, and Phat Farm. Set against a soundtrack of vaulted hip hop tracks from legendary hip hop artists, DJs, and radio hosts, and against a backdrop of a much grittier New York City than we know today, “All the Streets Are Silent” takes us to a place that is rarely explored but part of the mainstream as we know it today.

So, get comfortable in your Supreme hoodies, turn off that Jay-Z track, kick off your Nike Dunks, and watch the story of how skateboarding and hip hop changed the world.
