The Invincible Summer
The Invincible Summer
Directed by Evan Maragkoudakis & Oisin Tammas
Although this one comes in above the ten-minute limit, we like The Invisible Summer because it presents a unique interpretation of the theme that is worthwhile highlighting. The Invincible Summer follows a group of young people teaching refugee children to skate in Athens. The film, which calls on the Algerian-French philosopher Albert Camus’ quote for its title, reminds us how even in the ‘deepest winters’ there is still an enduring light that guides us through struggle, as the small utopias formed through skateboarding offer regeneration for societies in turmoil.
