Minding the Gap to make NY premiere at BAMcinemaFest, UK premiere at Sheffield Doc/Fest

Minding the Gap is slated to make two prestigious premieres during the month of June, traveling to BAMcinemaFest in Brooklyn, NY on June 25 for its New York premiere, as well as Sheffield Doc/Fest in Sheffield, UK on June 9 and 12 for its UK premiere. 

Minding the Gap is a nominee for the Sheffield Doc/Fest's New Talent Award. 

The film made its Canadian premiere this past Wednesday at Hot Docs, and will screen at the fest one final time Sunday, May 6. 

Impressions from Hot Docs 2018: 

Just saw the film Minding The Gap at #HotDocs25, and wow! Think Boyhood but 10x better and more real (mixed with some intense skateboarding). Filmmaker Bing Liu tackled the serious plights facing him and his very raw subjects to seamlessly create a stunning coming of age story.

Minding the Gap: A powerful and beautifully filmed portrait of young males who use skateboarding as an outlet to escape the pain of their lives. Touches on grand themes of fathers and sons, the fear of growing up, and trying to break cycles of abuse. Very moving. #HotDocs25

MINDING THE GAP is one of the most emotionally challenging films you'll see at #HotDocs25, but it's definitely one of the most visceral and truthful when dealing with the subject matter of fractured youth. Absolutely adored this one. pic.twitter.com/Fmjfgqumrk

Minding the Gap is far and away the best film I’ve seen at #HotDocs25. A nuanced portrait of young adulthood and facing your past. Cinema as an act of healing. It screens once more on Sunday at 6:15 and is absolutely not to be missed. https://t.co/BtfaWGJt74
