Teddie is the first full-length Serious Adult video, filmed over the last 10 months, loosely based around trips to Marseille and Zaragoza, with some South London crust thrown in for good measure! Featuring full parts from Tom Delion, Jack Soden Sebastian Lemus and Darwin Cranium, alongside appearances from the wider GCSA squadron.
The screening of George Toland’s video is set at the Brioni hotel in Fažana on Thursday 27th.
On Thursday 27th we are hosting a great photo exhibition at Kasarna in Fažana. Peter Fettich from Ljubljana, Slovenia, has captured some of the amazing moments at Vertbrant mini ramp contest and Vladimir film festival, intermittently, since 2013.
I have been heavily immersed in skate/snowboard culture since the mid 90s. As most information during the 90s was through magazines and movies, I developed an interest in photography towards the end of the millennium. For the past 7 years my main focus in photography has been traditional analog black and white darkroom imagery.
A skateboarding cruise with the artist Raphael Bravin Fumaça, filmed by Daniel Ferreira, going through a couple of neighborhoods in Belo Horizonte. Check it out on Thursday 27th at the Brioni hotel in Fažana.
Daniel Ferreira is a skateboarder, videographer, and artist based in Belo Horizonte, Brasil. His artistic work around skateboarding visual culture started with research on the relation between skateboarding and video histories.
If you had a chance to try some of the recipes by Tibor Rep than you know why he is coming again this year to cook for us on Friday 28th. If you didn’t try it, well, now it’s your chance. Don’t miss out on it and if you are lucky you will get your hands on his new foodzine!
I’m a food person and I craft thoughtful and inspired dishes for you – the people who enjoy food. When you eat my food you just might wanna do it again. That’s how the name REPeat was born.
A few short films by Tom Wilk will be presented on Friday 28th in Fažana followed by a photo exhibition. We asked Tom for a few words about him and his project:
Keeping it moving since 1981. Born in Poland, raised in Canada, and currently residing in London UK, when not exploring new countries and continents. Skateboarding, travel, and having fun is the motto! Got hooked on skateboarding in 1996 and can’t stop, won’t stop! Grew up skating the streets of Windsor Ontario, Detroit, and Toronto – and trapped in that Golden Era Forever! Skateboarding is my Fountain Of Youth and Universal Language!!! Never take yourself too serious… and stay positive! Fuck The Rat Race!
These short films called “Mustapha” are just a random idea that I came up with while visiting various countries, most of it was filmed hungover and drunk! Honestly, I really just wanted to showcase the city/country a little bit while have a good laugh and creating some memorable content with friends, in between the tricks and beers! Hopefully these (the short films) will make a great addition to Vladimir Film Festival, especially as little fillers videos between the longer screenings, and to get peeps laughing.
During the recent trip, the Absurd team explored cities around the Azov region and got full on Russian experience mixed with very special local vibes. Skateboarding by Gosha Konyshev, Philipp Kharel, Trofim Ovchinnikov and Pasha Kuznetsov. Filmed and edited by Khud and Barabaka.
When Russian people mention vacation time by the sea they usually mean the Black Sea. It’s understandable because all the major sea resorts, best Russian beaches and main sea ports are located on the Black Sea coast. But Russia also has an access to an another southern sea called the Azov Sea. It’s way smaller, not as scenic as the Black Sea and its coastline isn’t that well developed. The Sea of Azov is one of the smallest and the shallowest sea in the world.
Absurd at the Azov Sea will be screened at the Brijuni island on Sunday 30th, the last day of the festival. Don’t forget to reserve your boat ride ticket here.
Waltz is a short skateboarding film done by Spencer Legebokoff looking through the lens of finesse, quick feet, and style- opposed to hefty drops and massive rails. It looks to loosely parallel skateboarding to forms of dance by following a mainly untraditional soundtrack graced by the genre of jazz, while still retaining the classic skate-film feel and it explores the moods of skating at all times of the day- whether it be a sunny afternoon or a late-night lurk.
You can catch this projection on Thursday 27th at the Brioni hotel in Fažana from 20 h.
Filmed almost entirely in the West Kootenay region of BC Canada, no cobblestone, granite, or marble is in sight- spots are few and far between, rough, and require much more of a hustle to skate. “Waltz” looks to accentuate and beautify skateboarding as individuals manipulate and move through space in ways that are graceful and organic.
