Boy Dancers From The Al-Amyn Model School

 

The boy dancers in the videos below are students from the Al-Amyn Model School, Gulmit Gojal, Hunza, which is part of Gilgit Baltistan (Pakistan).  It was filmed in the courtyard in front of the school.  It is an excellent private school, and the headmaster is the esteemed Sir Nazir Ahmed Bulbul, who is a noted poet, composer, and scholar.  The dancers are Shahid Din (Shaideen), and Muhammad Raza Jr..  The "Kary Kary (Sometimes)" song was performed by Salman Paras who is from Gilgit Baltistan.  Needless to say "Kary Kary (Sometimes)" is a monster hit in Gilgit Baltistan.  Safe journeys to all the fans of Endyr's Movie Theater, wherever you may be.

Skaterdater │ A Blast From The Past

In this edition of Endyr's Movie Theater I am featuring "Skaterdater".  This is the classic film-short from 1965 that the won the Palme d'Or for Best Short Film at the 1966 Cannes Film Festival.  It was also nominated for an Academy Award in the Best Short Subject category, and won First prizes in international film festivals including Moscow and Venice. This is a great coming-of-age film.  One thing that is really unique about this movie is that it has no dialogue, but to compensate for that, the visuals are astonishing and it has a terrific soundtrack.  Incidentally this was the first skateboard movie ever made, and it is probably still the best of the genre.  By-the-way, Carroll Ballard, the director of "The Black Stallion" was one of the camera-persons on this project.  I must say that watching "Skaterdater" made me feel so young and nostalgic for days gone by.  There are parts of "Skaterdater" that captures the mystical and carefree nature of youth perfectly. "Skaterdater" is really about the Zen of skateboarding.  Safe journeys to all the fans of Endyr's Movie Theater, wherever you may be.
