Grafitti Finit in Amsterdam

Amsterdam is the most heaviest smeared city in Europe. The density of graffiti is even worse than New York and the quality seems to be world famous. The Amsterdam authorities want to ban graffiti from the city and launches the special project ‘Graffiti Finit’.

There is a budget of 2.5 million guilders, graffiti are photographed digitally, databases are set up, sprayers are mapped and special cleaning teams clean the city.

How to get a city free of graffiti. A reportage on the two sides of the story: Portraits of graffiti-sprayers and of the graffiti police and the cleaners. The impossible fight against “city art”?

Activities: propose item idea, research, set up and planning, accompany filming.
