The Forgotten Town of Epecuén

[rhythmworx]

Danny MacAskill brings a forgotten city back to life with his latest street trials film. Following on from 2013's mind-blowing 'MacAskill's Imaginate', Epecuén is the latest film from Danny MacAskill.

Directed by long time collaborator Dave Sowerby, we'll see Danny take his riding back to the roots of trials riding, exploring the forgotten town of Epecuén in Argentina, a location that has been submerged for the majority of the past 25 years.

Pablo Novac, Epecuén's only resident throughout the troubled times, gives a brief history of the location culminating with his thoughts that he '...can no longer see what use this place has for us now,' MacAskill however has other ideas.

Danny MacAskill is renowned for pushing the levels of both his riding and filming with previous releases 'Way Back Home' and 'Imaginate' accumulating over 50 million views between them; Epecuén is set to raise the bar once again.

There's art in here both by the rider and the videographer. Not Thai related, no but it's worth a view.

Great filming,amazing skills and agility by the bike rider joined together with some wonderful music.

You have already shared a couple of nice videos mate,maybe not a bad idea to keep them in one place by setting up a photography related video thread?

Good idea shag don't rush with anything though, it needs to be thought through before taking action.

I like short movies and anything thought provoking or spirit lifting.

For example watch the short movie Fabienfred posted below called Crossing Salween, a great story, and the sad fact is it's true to what's been going on over the years.

There's another thread I made called Anomaly which is a great 20 minute film shot on a small budget.

That aside...from the DM movie in this thread I would love to shoot that stone moon face statue under moonlight.

Not sure where to post this one but this topic seems as good as any. Just saw a video posted in the CM forum that was made entirely from 6771 photos by one of our members.

^ Wow! that is very impressive . . . i can see hours & hours have gone into that (& that's before they've even begun editing it . . . which is also top work done!)

Sacha & Jmayel are very good at what they do & have continually produced

fine videos about LOS and our region. This is a really good example IMO.
