Bing Liu/ 2018 / USA / English (no subtitles)
First-time filmmaker Bing Liu’s
Oscar nominated documentary Minding the Gap is a coming-of-age saga of
three skateboarding friends in their Rust Belt hometown hit hard by
decades of recession. In his quest to understand why he and his friends
all ran away from home when they were younger, Bing follows
23-year-old Zack as he becomes a father and 17-year-old Keire as he
gets his first job. As the film unfolds, Bing is thrust into the middle
of Zack’s tumultuous relationship with his girlfriend and Keire’s
inner struggles with racial identity and his deceased father. While
navigating a complex relationship between his camera and his friends,
Bing explores the gap between fathers and sons, between discipline and
domestic abuse, and ultimately that precarious chasm between childhood
and becoming an adult.
