T-Shirt Stories

This documentary offers an immersion in the culture of the tee-shirt, this simple piece of clothing has become a work of art for some and counter culture symbol for others. American Apparel founder Dov Charney, Earsnot, Tony Alva, Jim Philips, Mark the Cobrasnake and VERBAL all make appearances amongst an eclectic group of creatives.

Yvette

Hidden behind her nets above the courtyard her flat overlooks, nothing escapes Yvette’s attention. 95 years young, she was once caretaker of the block she’s called home for 64 years. You can’t move for clocks in the flat she lives in; a place she hasn’t left for a full 6 years. The caretaker’s instinct lives on; this venerable lady doesn’t miss a trick and isn’t afraid to speak her mind…no matter who’s listening.
