News for skater boys and film buffs alike: Shanghai-based production company PUSH have announced the details for PUSHFEST2016, the first-ever Mainland skate film festival that's landing here next month.

They're bringing skaters together to celebrate some awesome talent, share stories and educate us a bit on the scene’s global culture. The fest will feature documentaries, a photo exhibition, live trick competitions, a mini ramp, eats, beats and all things skate.
