Skate Kitchen
A teenage girl named Camille is in a state of isolation away from everyone. Teenage life begins in a different way than in the suburbs of New York City when she has a relationship with a group of girls' skiers. Camille begins to understand the true meaning of the friendship and sacrifices that seem to be apparent in those positive relationships; new life and clear behaviors.

On a skateboard, there's no room for thinking. It's just feeling and doing, which is what makes it such a symbol of emancipation in Crystal Moselle's joyful and wise new film.

Less a movie than a visually striking meditation on Being a Girl These Days.
