【TV Party】 From 1978 to 1982, Glen O'Brien, a darling of the era, hosted a New York cable television show called TV Party. Co-hosted by Blondie's Chris Stein, the show had a unique, guerrilla-style unlike anything seen on television before, with a party format, no script, and a different theme each week. The show featured guests smoking joints, unpredictable guests appearing each week to perform live, discussing politics and the art scene, engaging in raw conversations with viewers over the phone, mocking the establishment and the countryside with dry humor, and embodying what it meant to be cool in New York at the time. While the cast may appear indifferent and nonchalant, this show, which brought together young artists of the time, is overflowing with creative energy that resonates strongly with us today through the screen.
TV Party: The Documentary is a digital production by Blink Films and director Danny Vinik (producer of the film Span ). The content explores the New York art and culture scene, past and present, through interviews with the figures who continue to be trendsetters today, including Glen O'Brien, Deborah Harry (Blondie), Chris Stein (Blondie), Walter Steding (director), Amos Poe (director of photography), Fab Five Freddy (graffiti artist, rapper, star of the film Wild Style ), interspersed with footage from the original show.
