Skate Films at New York Underground Film Festival

This year’s NYUFF skateboard program mixes new independent work with two highly influential, hard-to-find classics from 1991. With the close of 2001 * bringing recession and war, Wheels * of Change looks at skateboarding’s reaction to similar circumstances a decade ago, as the sport went underground and reinvented itself on its own terms. The D.I.Y. style of skater-directed team videos from the early 90s laid the groundwork for today’s indie skate documentary and video directors. Also included are some short contemporary films that shed light on skate culture today. (Full Article) Search *

The Skateboard, The City, and Socio-Spatial Censorship

Here Architect Iain Borden * discusses "skateboarding and socio-spatial censorship in the late twentieth century city" in his article "An Affirmation of Urban Life."
