The Art of Displacement is
a short documentary directed by Felipe Trevino. This documentary takes
a look at the art form called Parkour and its presence in Texas. The
documentary features Matthew Lee Willis Music by: Calame, CDK and
Mumblemix. Produced at the University of Texas at Arlington. The short
was also a official selection for the 2008 AUSTIN FILM FESTIVAL
We feel that Felipe Trevino did a great job at capturing the
art
behind displacement. At the film festival the short was met with high
regard. Many of the directors of other shorts as well, appreciated and
praised Felipe's work. Sitting in the theatre it was great to see
standing room only in the 200 seat theatre, knowing that they were
there
to see that documentary. After the documentary, there was a Q&A to
the director. One man had spoken asking if we were trying to spread
propaganda with the documentary. Felipe Answered. "I had intended on
telling the story of these people. There's no other side to the philosophy or art but what is shown here."

This video is a great way to show people that parkour is not jumping around. It means something.

This was an excellent video! Great explanations of when to use parkour and the difference between training and a real life situation.
I also really enjoyed the comparison that one cannot pray better than an other. I will remember that.

I get the philosopy of parkour. It's not about if your better than someone else, or that you can do more things. It's the strive to always get better, and to always be thinking forward. That no matter what obstacle comes your way, you can get over it. It's the idea that you are your greatest tool.

Great video. I'll definitely be using how you worded its philosophy.
Thanks for your insight, friend.
