Courtesy of Sundance Institute The sun is high in the sky as a group of girls roll through a gate and into a skate park. They stick out among the majority of male skateboarders, shredding constantly and enjoying themselves as they talk about whatever comes to mind as a joint gets passed around. They sometimes even get into fights with other skaters, defending themselves against skaters who think they shouldn’t shred because they can’t keep up with the guys. This can be seen as a normal day for Skate Kitchen, the all-girl skateboarding crew that director Crystal Moselle has chosen to follow in her first narrative feature “Skate Kitchen.” Three years after her great documentary “The Wolfpack,” Moselle has directed and written a film that truly feels like an authentic experience through the eyes of a female skateboarder.
