I already wrote one or two times about nice parkour and freerunning videos, but this time I will show you the great trailer of a grandiose film about these two kinds of movement in urban space.
My Playground is the title of that documentary film, by Kaspar Astrup Schröder. It’s not one of these regular action-videos, but it has a deeper theoretically background…
The film explores the way Parkour and Freerunning is changing the perception of urban space and how the space is changing the traceurs and freerunners. Mainly set in Copenhagen the film follows the making of the first dedicated parkour park in the world. Designed by the danish team, Team JiYo. The film also travels around the world to Japan, United States, United Kingdom, and China to explore the common understanding of exploring the urban space seen from a traceur and freerunners perspective.
The trailers are quite interesting and I think I will buy the DVD…
