Summer Film Series: Skate Videos

Thursday, June 28 at 8pm

The Summer Film Series begins with two new skateboarding videos by local skate crews. The evening’s feature presentation is Anthro II by Louie Handler and the Richmond-based Anthro crew, preceded by Pid Geon Babylon, a recent production by precocious Charlottesville youngsters The Argyle Team.

These videos present a multitude of local talent as kids on skateboards slide, ollie, and grind all over the cities you thought you knew. Skating is often misunderstood and suppressed, alternately marginalized and heavily commercialized, yet it remains one of America’s most vibrant underground cultural movements, and the videos documenting the practice since its early days have become their own peculiar contemporary folk-art tradition; the Bridge is proud to begin our Summer Film Series with these two skate-video extravaganzas

This event is co-sponsored by the Black Cat Skate Shop.
