Ich mag den Style von Super8 und wenn sich ein Producer aus einer sportlich ambitionierten Subkultur heraus mit einer solchen Kamera austobt, geh ich steil ! Phil Evans aus Irland hat eine Filmdoku über Skateboarder bzw. die "Sportfotografen" gemacht d.h. er erkundet in seinem Werk das Leben, die Meinungen und die Arbeiten von sechs europäischen Skate-Fotografen u.a. ist der Skateboard Marketing Manager von CARHARTT dabei. Im Juni wird der Film u.a. in zwei Galerien in Berlin aufgeführt und im August kann man die DVD Box(en) kaufen, diese sind eigentlich recht günstig zu haben. Hier gibt es jetzt noch den Teaser und ein paar Shorts.
Format Perspective is a film by Phil Evans that explores the work, lives and opinions of six European skate photographers. The film showcases the photography of Nils Svensson (Malmo), Stu Robinson (Belfast), Alex Irvine (London), Rich Gilligan (Dublin) and Bertrand Trichet (Barcelona/Tokyo), while also giving us an insight into the different approaches used by this diverse line-up of photographers. Filmed completely on super 8 film, this project gives a behind-the-scenes look at the skating that these guys like to shoot, as well as the resulting photos that emerge from these sessions.
Philip Evans (1982) is a filmmaker and artist currently residing in Bray, just south of Dublin, Ireland. This small town is where Phil discovered the magic of skateboarding and developed an inexplicable compulsion to produce a near-endless stream of skateboarding videos and silly images. His last video, The Scrum Tilly Lush (2009) documented the everyday skating habits of pro skateboarders in 11 different locations around Europe. Phil's work has been exhibited all over the world and has been inducted into the Municipal Art Collection of Waterford City. He is part of the Human Pyramids Artist Collective.
