Minding the Gap + short film Dakloos voor een Week + dj-set Stadsnomade | Sold out
A coming-of-age documentary about three skateboarding friends. The film has won 58 awards (and counting), including the Special Jury Prize at Sundance.
Deep in the heart of the American Rust Belt lies Rockford, Illinois. Growing up here, all you can look forward to is unemployment and poverty. But three high school friends find an outlet through skateboarding, and one of them, Bing Liu, films all their adventures. What he also captures is the abruptness with which they are catapulted into adulthood, with its dead-end jobs, babies, and reflections on what it actually means to be a man. Years later he returns to his hometown to find out what has happened to his friends.
