Skateboarding meets poetry, architecture, and raw emotion in this iconic indie skate film by Pontus Alv. Originally released in 2005, The Strongest of the Strange is more than a skate video — it’s a visual manifesto, a tribute to DIY culture, concrete ruins, forgotten spaces, and the relentless urge to create, destroy, and rebuild. 🧱 Shot entirely in Europe with Pontus’s signature 16mm aesthetic, this film blends street skating, super-8/16mm visuals, found footage, and melancholic narration, referencing the work of Charles Bukowski (whose poem the title is drawn from). 🎞️ Featuring: – Pontus Alv – Various friends, underground European skaters – Endless walls, ditches, and dead spots that become playgrounds for expression. 📀 Source: Original DVD 📆 Release Year: 2005 📽️ Director: Pontus Alv 🧠 Language: English / minimal dialogue / poetic narration 📺 Format: Full DVD Remaster in HD (Upscaled and cleaned) 🔧 Note: This version has been remastered from the original DVD to preserve its grainy charm while upgrading visual clarity and stability. Nothing was added, nothing was censored — 100% DIY spirit remains. 🕳️ “Skate everything. Build your own spots. Destroy the rules.”
