Graffiti art?" Not only had "East Village art" been devalued in the press, but many participants recalled the scene as a kind of adolescence (with all the attendant social cliques, inflated egos, and silliness) that had been played out in the media.
While everyone had a story to tell about the rise and demise of the East Village, the overall evaluations of the scene were surprisingly similar.
For many, substance abuse was the extracurricular activity of choice, and to some extent artists expressed a common bond with the local drug trade, equating their fringe status in the art world with the illegal, street-level commerce of cocaine and heroin.

And yet, one of the surprises of "East Side Story" is that some of the films presented actually looked promising.
One was a mid-1950s East German effort called "My Wife Wants to Sing," in which, as the title implies, an unhappy hausfrau seeks to launch a singing career over the objections of her traditionally-minded husband.
Another genuinely interesting-looking movie, also from East Germany, was called "Midnight Revue." In this film-within-a-film, the producers spoof their own creative plight with the story of a group of filmmakers under Party orders to make a musical.

EAST SIDE STORY is a documentary roughly covering the period 1930-1970, when the Soviet Union, and its satellites after 1945, struggled to create Hollywood-like entertainment for the proletariat masses without sacrificing the central tenants of socialism.
EAST SIDE STORY is liberally sprinkled with interviews with aging actors, production lackeys, and cinema historians.
Where as in the West, musicals made us temporarily forget, depression, war and everyday sacrifices, the musicals in the East in addition, promoted the heroism of the common worker(proletartiat)and the value derived in working for the goals of building socialist nation.

Musicals, of course, originated as an American art form, and though other countries have certainly taken the genre and produced fine works, it's still a form that is terribly unsuited for Communism.
"East Side Story" presents clips from some of the 40 musicals made, mostly in the Soviet Union, Bulgaria and East Germany, with hearty peasants and workers singing and dancing their way through fields and factories.
