It’s Go Skateboarding Day, and what better way to celebrate than to highlight  films throughout Sund

It’sGo Skateboarding Day, and what better way to celebrate than to highlight  films throughout Sundance Film Festival history that feature skateboarding. 

Founded in 2004 by Don Brown and the International Association of Skateboard Companies in California, the holiday gives skateboarders an opportunity to get outside and practice the sport with the help of participating cities worldwide.

Here are just a few films that capture the creativity, passion, drive, and so much more that skateboarding can ignite.

Hala is her father’s pride and joy. Dutiful and academically gifted, she skillfully navigates both her social life as a teen in Chicago and her obligations as an only child to Pakistani immigrants. When she meets Jesse, a classmate who shares her love for poetry and skateboarding, their romance is complicated by her Muslim faith and a father who is prepared to arrange her marriage according to their family’s cultural tradition. As Hala begins to challenge these customs, her parents’ own lives start to unravel, testing the power of Hala’s flourishing voice.

2018 Sundance Film Festival, Skate Kitchen dir. by Crystal Moselle

Introverted 18-year-old skateboarder Camille lives on Long Island with her single mother. After a startling injury, she promises her mother she’ll hang up her board, but the pull to skate is too strong. On Instagram she discovers “The Skate Kitchen,” a subculture of girls whose lives revolve around skating, and bravely seeks them out… Skate Kitchen precisely captures the experience of women in male-dominated spaces and tells a story of a girl who learns the importance of camaraderie and self-discovery.

2001 Sundance Film Festival, Bones Brigade: An Autobiography dir. by Stacy Peralta

Today skateboarding is omnipresent. Take a walk down any street in any town, and you are destined to see someone riding a skateboard. Well, it wasn’t always like that. In the early ’80s, skateboarding was fading away until Stacy Peralta brought a profoundly talented group of outsiders together and dubbed them the Bones Brigade. This documentary chronicles their epic rise, using awesome archival footage and moving first-person accounts from Brigade members Steve Caballero, Tommy Guerrero, Tony Hawk, Mike McGill, Lance Mountain, and Rodney Mullen, among others.

1999 Sundance Film Festival, Dogtown and Z-Boys dir. by Stacy Peralta

Skateboarding has crossed over into the mainstream population due in large part to the humble beginnings of a group of eight teenagers in an area of Santa Monica called Dogtown. It was there that this mismatched gang of kids from broken homes formed a group known as the Zephyr Team aka Z-Boys… Reuniting the original crew 25 years later enables us to hear in their own words what it was like before x-treme sports existed.

‘Certain Women’, Kelly Reichardt (2016)

— Why were you afraid of selling shoes?

— Have you ever sold shoes?

— I mean, why were you afraid you couldn’t get anything else?

— I don’t know. Because my mom works in a school cafeteria, my sister in a hospital laundry. So, selling shoes is the nicest job a girl from my family’s supposed to get.
