The Be-Mag production 'Traitement' by Jonas Hansson has been nominated for the Adventure Film Festival in Copenhagen, Denmark. The film will be competing with other adventure features like 'The Art of Flight', the most expensive Snowboard film ever produced, as well as the highly praised Mountain Biking piece 'LifeCycles', which also pushed production value for extreme sport flicks to new heights.

The nomination is great news and an amazing opportunity for the sport. But that's not all... Here's a take on 'Traitement' from one of Rollerblading's legends. Enjoy this short review from none other than Dustin Latimer.
»Traitement, a video capturing the beauty of the life of a select few individuals on rollerblades, embodies beautiful cinematography, editing, and movement to portray their unique place in this world. This slow paced art piece exemplifies the scenery as much as the scene, allowing the viewer to get very up close and personal with the dynamic actions, unique places, and the love the skaters have in relation to their environment. Maybe not a video to get hyped before a session, this creative lengthy masterpiece procures the love to create, enjoy, and simply go rollerblading in the environment they are occupying.«
