Instinct

Vodnjan / Astra / 22 / 09 / 2023 / Film

It is a skate­board­ing film that shines a spot­light on the B.P. crew: a group of skaters from Rijeka, Croa­tia, and their friends. Set against the back­drops of Rijeka, Kvarner, Istria and Split, the movie cap­tures the skaters’ unique per­spect­ive on their urb­an envir­on­ment. Instinct as a title reflects the drive with­in skaters to per­ceive their sur­round­ings dif­fer­ently than oth­er people, using the city­scape and archi­tec­ture for altern­at­ive pur­poses. Through deep under­stand­ing of the city’s land­scape, the skaters embrace their instinctu­al con­nec­tion with the space.
