Come see DIY videos about bicycles and the people who ride them, this Tuesday, Sept. 20, at noon, at Boardman's Art Theater. |
|
A representative of Portland, Oregon's thriving bicycling scene, Shawn Granton, will be in town next week to show off some videos documenting that city's many varied bicycling events.
Microcosm publishing describes these videos:
"A collection of short videos made in Portland about bicycles. The films
are really creative and varied. If you've been hearing a lot about all of the crazy bicycle stuff in Portland but didn't really know what was going on, this is a good introduction to it. Many of the facets of the Portland alternative bike community are represented here including ZooBomb, Bike Polo, Chunk 666, bike hauling and transportation, and some more creative artistic things (like the bicycle audio project). The collection leaves you with a feeling that you could not only go out and ride a bike but also make a short film about it!"
Portland is one of the country's most bike-friendly cities, and has a strong critical mass ride.
The videos will be shown at a special noon lunch-time showing at Boardman's Art Theater in Downtown Champaign on Tuesday, Sept. 20. The showing is free (with a suggested donation), and the Theater has yummy food available for lunch.
Please tell and bring all your bicycling friends! |
