SKATEISTAN: TO LIVE AND SKATE KABUL from Diesel New Voices on Vimeo.
This documentary displays the efforts of the Skateistam organisation as well as documenting the turmoil in Afghanistan and the effects on the youth. I really enjoyed the documentary, being a fan of skateboarding myself it really made me happy to see other in less privileged places enjoying it. The cinematography and sound design gave the piece a very ambient atmosphere and presented everything in a very content and picturesque way. To me, this is what made the documentary most effective to me, the beautiful shots and music paired with the post war streets and scenery. The documentary had a very observational approach, and the filmmaker seemed almost invisible and very unessential to interaction with the people the film.
