Lost in Havana – Vancouver Premier at Flatspot 17.09.2016

Lost in Havana is the result of 100 boards donated (obvious to havana) by Kebbek Skateboards, and the ensuing adventure. Come watch it for the first time at the shop!

On Saturday the 17th of September we will be doing a screening of Lost in Havana. And couldn’t be more stoked. Kebbek is behind Hicks on Sticks which was an incredible documentary, and we expect this one will be not different. So come join us!

Film Details

“Lost in Havana” (2016)

Warren Lane Films

Directed by: Soren Johnstone

Starring: Juergen Gritzner, Betty Esperanza, Kalie Racine, Yojani Perez

This film chronicles the outlandish results as earlier this year a band of skaters from Canada and Austria smuggled in a pile of skateboards into Cuba to give away to underprivileged kids. It’s clear from the get-go that good intentions and communist bureaucracy clash like velvet dingle-balls around the windscreen of a 1982 Lada 1600 sedan. Juergen Gritzner, a pro skater from Austria, walks us through a comical fish out of water story that is vivid in colour and rich in cultural awkwardness. Award winning film maker Soren Johnstone (Play with Fire, Hicks on Sticks) filmed and edited together a very enjoyable story despite his own run in with hallucinogenic jelly fish. The film held its world premiere in Slovenia earlier this month and so far has received universally positive accolades.
