The Devil’s Toy Redux

by The Editors on April 29, 2014

Dt En 1Canada’s National Film Board is releasing a brand new interactive documentary project featuring skateboarding films from 14 filmmakers from 11 countries. And all of them are in some way or another paying tribe to Claude Jutra’s seminal 1966 skate film The Devil’s Toy. Filmmakers include Greg Hunt, Benny Malinao, Steve Durand, Myriam Verreault, Fred Mortagne, Qi An Juan, Corey Adams, and Argyris Papadimitropoulos.

The National Film Board of Canada (NFB) has created this interactive documentary that helps viewers to easily navigate from one film to the next and witness the evolution of skateboarding culture as told through these filmmakers. From Singapore to Lyon, Montreal to Johannesburg, the urban landscape and its inhabitants may differ widely, but one thing remains constant: the world is one big skatepark.

It all goes live on the web tomorrow April 30, 2014. For the rest of the story, follow the link to The Devil’s Toy Redux website.
