Far from the classic lines of “fisheye” skate videos and the perfect, smooth concrete spots you might be used to, “Le Skate Moderne” brings us a group of skateboarders who think nothing of taking to the mud and skating through the unusual and atypical surroundings of the French countryside. Somewhere between fiction and documentary, this video contemplatively follows a group of skateboarder farmers into the remotest parts of the Dordogne. |

Among his recently deceased father’s things, a writer and filmmaker finds a novel no one in the family knew about. The father was a biologist and had no reason to write. He obviously had been writing though, thirty years before his own son published a novel of his own. The son reads it and discovers similarities with his father he had never suspected. Why did the biologist stop writing when he had a family? What if, having come from a poor background, he’d preferred money to a bohemian path? What if, lacking in self-confidence, he’d decided to transfer his artistic dreams to his children? And what if that man had ended up losing a part of himself? |

All the pictures of this movie were extract from the web and were shooted by security cameras. |
