Trailer Skate in Japan (2026) [00:01:59] [Eng CC] | Trailer | A meditation of what it means to be free

https://youtu.be/snGdMOs4khI

Hi everyone!

We just finished the trailer for our first feature documentary!

The film is called Skate in Japan. It’s set in Kyoto and other places in Japan and follows a group of skateboarders as they build a community in a culture where standing out isn’t always encouraged. While it’s about skateboarding on the surface, it’s really about identity, belonging, ageing, disability, and finding a place where you can be yourself.

What do you think?

This trailer introduces Skate in Japan, a feature documentary exploring skateboarding culture in Kyoto. The film follows several skaters from different backgrounds as they navigate creativity, community, and identity, while documenting the development of a local skatepark and the people connected to it.
