Synopsis

Far from the standard fisheye lens images of skateboarders gliding over perfectly smooth concrete skate parks, The Modern Skateboarding shows us a group of skaters who think nothing of riding through mud in the atypical and unconventional skating ground of the French countryside. Somewhere between fiction and documentary, this contemplative video follows a group of skater-farmers into the remotest parts of the Dordogne region.

Changing Rooms, by Violette Gitton

César is 12 when his older sister Lou is sexually assaulted. In the changing rooms of the fencing classes he attends, everything is measured by the yardstick of violence. César would like to take part in every fight, but he doesn’t have the weapons.
