Melodies For The Lemurs (2016)

Hidden away in the wilds of the Indian Ocean, Madagascar is off most travellers' radar. The Disney-esque image of lemurs bounding from tree to tree is but one narrative about this remote island. To re- calibrate this notion, a handful of skateboarders from around the globe convened to put this island on the map for skateboarding. Even though spots were limited, there is no limit to what motivation and tenacity can achieve, cobbled surfaces or not. Barney Page, Wilko Grüning, Denny Pham, Brian Dolle, Nestor Judkins and Gosha Konyshev set themselves the task of exploring this exotic Shangri- la for this short feature we have christened 'Melodies for the Lemurs'. Featuring the skating of: Barney Page, Wilko Grüning, Denny Pham, Brian Dolle, Nestor Judkins and Gosha Konyshev.
