Cyclescreen: Macaframa (PG)
Dir: Colby Elrick/Colin Arlen
60 mins, 2009, USA
Please note: this was screened in Aug 2011
3 years in the making, Macaframa is a stunning visual celebration of the thriving US fixed gear scene and homage to the great cycling city of San Francisco. Starting in 2006 with nothing but a camera and a cast of 14 amazingly talented riders, the film was created with virtually no budget and no outside assistance or corporate sponsorship. If you've ever felt that unspoken thrill that you get when riding a bike fast, you'll recognise amongst the films assorted vignettes a capturing of that passion in its most truest sense.
Screening with short films Chiara Shokite: Fix Wheeled Tourer (Dir: Nick Hand UK '10 5mins) and Standing Start (Dir: Finlay Pretsell UK 12mins).
Fee: £7.20 full / £5.60 concessions.
Special offer: get the Saturday Combo ticket and see this film and the Cyclecross Meeting, a film about the exploding cyclocross scene (Sat 20 Aug, 16:00), for the reduced price of £10 full / £8 concessions. To purchase the Combo ticket please call Box Office on 0117 927 5100 - this deal cannot be bought online.
