Inhabitants

About This Movie

Inhabitants is one of those skate films that captures the essence of the sport and the tight-knit community around it. It features a lineup of skaters who were pretty influential in the scene back in 2007, like Stefan Janoski and Tim O'Connor, showcasing their skills in various urban environments. The pacing feels laid-back yet engaging, with a focus on raw skating rather than heavily edited tricks. There's this gritty feel throughout, almost documentary-like, which sets it apart from more polished productions. You get a real sense of the camaraderie among the skaters and the challenges they face, which resonates with the skate culture vibe. If you’re into the genuine expression of skateboarding, this one definitely stands out.

Inhabitants is relatively rare in terms of physical media availability. The film was released during a transitional period in skate culture, and it has developed a niche following among collectors who appreciate its authentic depiction of skate life. Various formats were produced, but finding an original pressing is becoming increasingly challenging, making it an interesting piece for those focused on skate history and film ephemera.
