DESCRIPTION
Women on a Roll – Amsterdam is a 20-minute short documentary that explores the past, present, and future of Amsterdam’s roller-skating culture through the eyes of the women who shape its community. Celebrated worldwide, the film has been nominated at 20 international festivals and has won 3 awards. Skating at iconic places, such as the RAI Hall 1 or The Eye Film Museum Promenade, we will also find out how the public spaces have been redefined to accommodate this reviving trend.
In a cinematic style, we will explore the story of roller skating with the voice-over and the moves of iconic skaters from this city, and with the music from artists from the Netherlands.
