Pula / Kino Valli / 20 / 9 / 2025 / 20:00 / Exhibition

A short doc­u­ment­ary on a group of skate­boarders con­front­ing gen­er­a­tion­al shifts in Thim­phu, Bhutan. The film cap­tures the first skaters in the Him­alay­an nation — the last coun­try in the world to leg­al­ize TV and the Inter­net, in 1999. Pat­rik Wall­ner, togeth­er with Nestor Judkins and friends, doc­u­ments how skate­board­ing arrives as part of Bhutan’s hes­it­ant step into modernity.
