Synopsis: The streets of N.Y. might be temporarily silent, but in downtown Manhattan in the early 90’s, they were the site of a dynamic collision between two vibrant subcultures: skateboarding and hip hop. Jeremy Elkin’s documentary, All The Streets Are Silent, narrated by Eli Morgan Gesner, brings to life the magic of this time period and the convergence that created an urban style and visual language that would have an outsized and lasting cultural effect. If Paris Is Burning and Kids had a baby, you’d have this documentary love letter to New York—examining race, society, fashion and street culture—and full of archival footage featuring legendary characters and figures from the downtown scene.

Exclusive: London-based sales outfit Dogwoof has picked up world rights excluding Australian and New Zealand on Eddie Martin’s feature documentary The Kids, which is the story of the young skateboarders picked from the streets of Manhattan by Larry Clark to star in his 1995 cult classic Kids.
Martin previously directed Have You Seen the Listers?, which Dogwoof handled rights on and sold to Netflix. He also helmed All This Mayhem, about the dark side of professional skateboarding.

Left adrift under the bright lights, some discovered transcendent lives and careers – while others, abandoned and unequipped to handle fame, suffered fatal consequences.
The Kids is produced and edited by Shannon Swan, co-produced by Hamilton Chango Harris, Peter Bici, Caroline Rothstein, and Jessica Forsyth, with cinematography by Hugh Miller and additional camera by...

Two Australian documentaries, Robert Coe and Warwick Ross’ Blind Ambition and Eddie Martin’s The Kids, will make their world premiere in competition at Tribeca Film Festival in June.
Blind Ambition, directed and produced by Coe and Ross for Third Man Films, follows four Zimbabwean refugees who form their country’s first Wine Tasting Olympics team, and the mission that drives them to compete.
Coe and Ross said to premiere at Tribeca was “absolutely thrilling.”
“We are truly grateful to Tinashe, Joseph, Marlvin and Pardon for letting us into their lives and giving us the opportunity to bring their inspiring underdog story to the screen,” they told If in a joint statement.
“Their talent, perseverance and relentless optimism showed us just how irrepressible the human spirit can be and we can’t wait to share their journey with the Tribeca audience and Australian audiences soon after.”
