Graffiti Documentary - CITIZEN GANE - By Jay Richards
“Citizen Gane” chronicles the life of legendary Australian Graffiti Writer Gane 2, who back in the early 1980’s at age 12, was one of the very first generation writers to play a significant role in developing the Graffiti and hip hop scene in Australia. His influence was felt for decades after, until his passing in October 2022.
He first came to the attention of the Australian public back in 1985 when, aged 15, he was featured on the popular television program 60 Minutes. Overnight, he was a graffiti and pop culture sensation. Reviled by the general public but revered and admired amongst his peers, it earned him the highest honour of “King” status. The King of Sydney.
“Citizen Gane” is an entertaining story full of colour and larger than life characters. Gane tells his life story in his own words, accompanied by more than two dozen interviews from other graffiti writers, family and friends. All original music has been composed by Def Wish Cast. The film premiered at Dendy Cinemas in Newtown, Sydney, to a sold out audience.
Director, Producer and Editor Jay Richards has recently won a number of International Film Festival Awards for his last film, a thriller called “Resolve”, including Best Short Film and Best Director at the Cannes Awards, Paris Cinefest, and the Singapore World Film Carnival.
Enjoy the film.

    GANE" was a citizen of Sydney but he got my respect, my condolences and He is a King in his own right. From this documentary he was well respected, loved and though i didn't know him he represented the graff game and kept it 💯. His friends considered him a King and he earned it..He went with his heart and his life was tough but he held his own and fought to the end. He went quietly but he made noise R.I.P. GANE ....🕯️.... NYC Bronx Love to a Graff Legend from across the seas. The Graff out there by all these legends is 💯 Real Graff Art...They have Style.

    Like a walk through my personal history as told by the amazing artists with souls of passionate 🔥 fire that were the ones who, not only I looked up to, we aspired to emulate with their selfless guidance, cultivation, inspiration, encouragement & pure talent as well as the ones that I shared that path with side by side, came up together & who continue to be the authentic link to the Hip Hop school of thought we came from, genuine products of the original virtues our culture was born of, transcending race, religion, economics, post codes, gender that enabled us all to enhance our lives, striving together toward improving our respective communities as we all knew that nobody else, no government departments, no local/state nor no damn federal ministry had ever lifted a f#ckin' finger to help any of us or our communities that , God forbid, might have had a positive outcome for those of us deemed "marginalised" or "at risk" while the message filtered down to reach us that screamed that we didn't matter or that we were not worth investing in as we felt invisible without a voice to convey our concerns we knew it was up to us to pick up the slack & become active in the healing process, to share those responsibilities bonded by our love of our own culture known as Hip Hop. One Love, fellow members of the Universal Zulu Nation, the embodiment of our exalted, our revered creed/motto : PEACE, LOVE, UNITY & HAVING FUN. Worth remembering I believe. Love & Respect to everyone in this amazing tribute to an amazing artist & top bloke whether producing or appearing in it. And once again, after a long, long time my heart is full. Rest in Peace my Brother. And to all those down with Hip Hop worldwide; PEACE MY BROTHERS & SISTERS, STRICTLY RESPECT.

    A really well done piece (pardon the pun). It's always nice to see the very human story behind the tag. I'm not a writer but have always been interested in graff and its subculture. 'GANE' and 'RIME' were some of the earliest tags/throwies I can recall, travelling into the city on the 'blue line' as a little kid in the mid 90s. My condolences to all that knew Gane. One thing that I've always wondered that the doco didn't go into: why is he known as 'Gane2' rather than the usual 'Gane1'- was there a writer by 'Gane' before him? Thanks.

    This was legendary! As a kid in the early 80s you couldn't get a train without seeing a Gane tag, businessmen in suits would be spewing getting up with a reverse Gane tag on their ass cause his tags were so fresh or looking out the window you wouldn't wait long to see a Gane piece. 100% genuine bonafide KING 👑. Rest Easy 👑🙏
