Oct 1st-5th - Bicycle Film Festival 2008 - London

http://bicyclefilmfestival.com/2008_site/london

what events are people going to?
I'm thinking of coming from Birmingham the urban shorts (http://bicyclefilmfestival.com/2008_site/london/program6.php#a) on saturday night should be pretty good, is it the premiere of Macaframa? Is anyone else attending (if so which showing?)

I will be there the whole time sir.. make sure you introduce yourself :)

Yeah I should be there, just been on the Barbican website, thinking it might be a good way to get my girlfriend into bikes.

The thursday and saturday evening screenings are both wicked.
Mainly, the whole thing is going to be amazing this year.

The tickets are selling really fast though (when did bikes get so damn cool) so I would reccomend getting them in advance from the Barbican site. they are cheaper if you buy them online too.

Saturday programme 4 looks wicked.

i was also thinking thursday and saturday... anyone want to book tickets together? otherwise i will be sat alone (echo).

depends which programme fluff.

oh, you weren't meaning me.

no probs.

I noticed the 'roadie night' tickets were sold out when I looked last night.

Pjs, was a general shout out. Thursday or Saturday, programme 4 looks ace - if you get a ticket get two and let us know?

Laura will probably rope me into doing something or other.

@dirk - if she doesnt i may... I've roped in dancin james for the night of the 2nd.

Oh and it seems I may need someone with a car / van for beer delivery to our venues. I am willing to bribe said individual with stuff - at least free beer at the event. :)
PM me if you have a vehicle and would be up to the job (and yes i will help load and unload the beer)

Shit, just realised I have to work on the 2nd, 4th-5th but am available to help in anyway on 1st and 3rd..bastard UPS replacement work.

UPS replacement?

I think I'll probably go for programme 6.

I thought the Macaframa movie was longer than 11 minutes.

Gutted to find out the the Roubaix flick is full, but will probably go to the Sat afternoon matinee on the Six days ! My daughter is playing at the Guildhall so will have a few hours to kill hence the matinee.

I'll do it for you if you can rent me a car/van Jacs

Damn will there be an opportunity to see the short films from Programme 6 elsewhere? I've got a damn birthday thing so can't make it. And it's only my girlfriends friends birthday. And she's annoying. But I did make a deal to go.

Damn you integrity!

I'll be there. Helping out

I can't afford to go to any of this so I am going to sit at home, put on my yellow Campag cap and watch my VHS of 'Breaking Away'. Tickets still available for the sofa.

well the saturday night party is free to get in... so come check that out! its hosted by Keith and Jos, (tour de ville) so perhaps we might get more dancing Jos... if anybody remembers the last time at the Slaughtered Lamb.
also- for any non polo players.. we tacked on a second screening of road to roubaix on sunday evening at the horse hospital. details will be posted this week on www.bicyclefilmfestival.com

Bikes = good
Films = good

Films about bikes = not good

There's a LOT of hard work gone into this festival!
