back to schedule

Film Type: Documentary
Length: 86 minutes

Synopsis:
Welcome to the captivating world of urban exploration, an international subculture of fearless thrill-seekers who lurk beneath city streets and trespass into long-abandoned buildings, defiantly searching for unseen treasures of modern civilization. Documentary filmmaker Melody Gilbert follows Max Action, Slim Jim, Katwoman and Turobzutek as they infiltrate aging lunatic asylums, government sites, faded tourist attractions, sewers, drains, and even the forbidden Catacombs in Paris. Some do it for the thrill of being where they're not supposed to be and not knowing what lies ahead. Others do it to document history before these long-forgotten places are demolished, often snapping astonishingly beautiful photos. After watching this documentary, you'll never look at a manhole cover the same way again!
