h-swiss-pole.jpgThis Summer, local filmmakers Riley Duncan and Caleb Plutzer will present the newest version of Pid Geon Babylon, the acclaimed video documenting the exploits of the local skateboarding crew The Argyle Team. Pid Geon Babylon screened at The Bridge in it’s original form last summer, and the new improved version of the video contains new titles, different music (possibly with live accompaniment — details TBA), and new footage including skating in NYC, as well as a short VA-based super-8 exploration film.

We expect a healthy audience of local skateboarders, but would also like to extend the invitation to those members of the community who may not be directly involved with or aware of Charlottesville’s healthy skating community; skateboard culture is a fascinating American subculture and a valuable folk-art tradition, and skate videos contain many aspects which may be fascinating and enjoyable even for those who have never skated themselves.

There is a suggested donation of $5 at the door, and the screening begins at 8pm.
