The Art of Not Knowing

Directed by Jonathan Lomar

For 15 years Jonathan has kept a box of DV tapes chronicling his teenage years spent skateboarding with his friends and filming everything. Or at least he thought it was everything. Recently Jonathan found out that the skateboarding team’s manager, his trusted mentor Anders physically and mentally abused many in the group, including Jonathan’s closest friends – for years. The Art of Not Knowing explores the weight of memory, power dynamics of tight knit groups, and the healing that comes from breaking the silence.
