“PUSHED” – Trailer
“PUSHED” – Full Length
“PUSHED” is a documentary by Florian Schneider (DE) that deals with some of the things we love and hate about skateboarding.
Four protagonists have been portrayed giving very personal views on the toy itself and its significant influence on their work,
the Do-It-Yourself culture in skateboarding, the rules of the industry and the aging process.
Skateboarding once pushed these guys to create things that people wouldn’t necessarily link to this object,
leading to the question whether this passion can be considered a subculture.
The protagonists in this densely filmed full length documentary are the photographer Adam Sello from Berlin, Artist and Designer Stefan Marx from Hamburg,
concrete avant-gardist and filmmaker Pontus Alv from Malmö and the urban artifact-collector Bobby Puleo from New York.
They have been followed for several days and weeks, giving insights in their everyday life, their work, their motives, their successes and failures.
Although skateboarding is always connected to the people and the shown issues it stays in the back most of the time and tries to be what it was once for the protagonists:
A big motivation and inspiration to do things.
“PUSHED” has been screened on over fifty Festivals around the world and can be ordered as DVD or seen as Stream right here.
