Tickets $15. A special screening of rare skateboarding films from the 1960s hosted by Stephen Slappe of the Dead Media Hour archive. Two early classics, Skaterdater (1965) and Rouli Roulant, a.k.a. The Devil’s Toy (1966) will be projected in glorious 16mm film.
A never-before-seen collection of beautiful home movies filmed by East Bay skateboarders in Oakland and Berkeley in 1965 will also be shown. Originally shot on silent 8mm film, a high-definition scan of these amateur movies will be accompanied by Slappe adding context to their history and significance as well as live 45 record spinning by DJ Lazerwolf, all deep cuts from 1965. You don’t have to be a skateboarder to love this show, but skateboarders will definitely love this show!
