The UK and European premiere of Japanese film maker
Katsuya Nonaka’s skateboard and shakuhachi documentary
Future is Primitive is set to screen at
House Of Vans London on Friday 9th September’s edition of #SkateFryDays. In
Future is Primitive, Nonaka talks to leading skaters from all around the world, as well as Japanese and non-Japanese players of the traditional bamboo flute, the shakuhachi. Although these are two seemingly very different activities, both are now encountering changing status and a rise in popularity. A new version of the shakuhachi is being manufactured which is easier to play alongside Western orchestral instruments and skateboarding has just been confirmed as being a recognised sport in 2020’s Tokyo Olympics. Alongside the screening,
Katsuya Nonaka will be participating in a Q&A with
Daphne Greca from
Brixton’s Baddest skate shop.
