LIVING THE VANLIFE – the DOCUMENTARY [full length documentary]

Vanlife is a lifestyle that becomes more popular day by day, mainly in the surf community. Therefore, “Living the Vanlife” is a documentary that looks for the answers to some of the most asked questions about living a life inside a van.
“What is Vanlife?” “How do you sustain yourselves?” “How did it all start?” These are some of the questions to which the director found the answers.
Living the Vanlife – the DOCUMENTARY was premiered at cinema at “Lagoa Surfe Arte” Festival, Brazil, and after that on “SAL – Surf at Lisbon”, one of the most reputable and prestigious surf film festivals in Portugal.

WHY VANLIFE?

Being a growing lifestyle and also being a controversial theme, the documentary “Living the Vanlife” is a first approach to the matter and intends to clear some ideas. The main objective was to show that it is possible to live inside a van and that the people who do it are as normal as the ones living in a flat or a house.
Having this lifestyle is not a synonym of being, for example, a hippie. Living in a van is frequently a decision made with consciousness and an objective. This is the reality that “Living the Vanlife” exposes, show as well that there are several reasons why people choose this path.

    Capitalism created the Van Life. I’m looking for a van right now. My mortgage is 500.00 cheaper than renting an apartment. I no longer need or want so much living space, and I can’t afford the extra expense of a rental. Van Life offers an escape from the chains capitalism has shackled society’s with.
