SKATE LE MONDE
(SKATE THE WORLD)
In this new documentary series, Mathieu Cyr discovers various countries through the eyes of their skateboard community. He meets the skateboarders who have shaped the world scene and visits new places that mark the culture of skateboarding. In Barcelona, Jerusalem, Casablanca, Havana, Warsaw and Montreal, the stand-up comic skateboarder travels through alleys and major thoroughfares taking an interest in alternative visions of skateboarding, but also in the arts, history and architecture. Produced by L’Équipage and Quiet Motion, the 13 x 52 minutes episodes will be added to the TV5 website as the TV broadcast unfolds.
While skateboarding was once considered a symbol of counter-culture, the discipline makes its debut at the Tokyo Olympics in 2020. Skateboarders have long been shaping the urban planning of cities and using skateboarding as a tool to reach out to young people. They form a brotherhood that transcends traditional cultural barriers. Musicians, athletes, artists, urban planners, feminists, the world of skateboarding brings together heterogeneous communities of all ages that understand each other, follow each other and welcome each other with open arms.
By looking at how the skateboard has taken root in a country, it is easy to illustrate the social and political issues that are far more difficult to identify. From public squares to no-go areas, from abandoned places to contemporary skateparks, Mathieu Cyr is skateboarding the world.
COUNTRIES VISITED: Japan, France, Poland, Germany, Canada (Montreal), Spain, Israel, United States East Coast, Morocco, United States West Coast, Brazil, Cuba and Mexico.
We thank for their collaboration, all the skateboarders who accepted to share their passion! Also a special thanks to Ian Comishin and Jon Caften without whom this project would not exist.
