Ask the Girls in Cairo

Der Regisseur JP Micallef trifft in Kairo auf junge Frauen, die gegen die dortigen Konventionen hinweg skaten, driften oder Motorrad fahren.

Capturing the sprawling landscape of Cairo through a subset of its youth, director JP Micallef connects with a group of young female skateboarders, drifters and motorbike riders in the Egyptian capital for short film Ask the Girls in Cairo. Finding freedom coasting through the city, yet confronted by the strict gender standards of a traditional, religious society, the film lenses these young women outside the risks that link their experiences – each coming against derogatory remarks and abuse on the city’s streets, and pressure and punishment from family for pursuing their passions.

Meeting Cairo-based Moroccan skateboarder Zineb Koutten via her photography, Micallef reached out to friends and other girls connected by the Cairo scene, gathering an entirely Egyptian cast and crew to work across the project – and music by Egyptian artist Felukah. Shooting on location over two days and witnessing first hand the abuse the girls receive, Ask the Girls in Cairo celebrates the optimism and strength of the young women refusing to bow to expectations, on a visual ride through the city they have made their playground.

Hübsche Stop-Motion-Animation von Darren Pearson, für die er hunderte mit Licht gemalte Fotografien von skatenden Skeletten zusammengefügt hat.

What’s that noise? Who’s that skater down the alley trying to land the same trick for the nth time? If you want to know better, have a look at The Skatebook’s animated pages, which reveal the thoughts, memories, hopes and fears of the expanding skateboarding scene in London.

Eine japanische Skateboarding TV Show

Die japanische Andersartigkeit bleibt sich auch dann treu, wenn es darum geht, Skatern im TV eine Bühne zu geben. Kasso, so heißt das Format, sortiert sich irgendwo zwischen Ninja Warrior and Takeshi’s Castle ein. Ich würde reingucken.

KASSO is one of the latest television shows produced by, and aired on TOKYO BROADCASTING SYSTEM TELEVISION INC. a Japanese terrestrial TV station and media conglomerate known for global hit formats such as Ninja Warrior and Takeshi’s Castle.
