Hackney Bicycle Film Society Update 30th October 2010
The next film showing of the HBFS will be on Monday 8th November at 7:30 Vittorio De Sica’s classic Ladri di biciclette or in English Bicycle Thieves. In it a poor young father in post-war ravaged Rome finally finds work putting up Rita Hayworth posters around town, only have his precious bicycle stolen the first day on the job
This will be preceded by Maz Lewis’s half hour documentary Good Friday which was featured at last years Bicycle Film Festival and is all about the Herne Hill Velodrome. We are showing this in support of the Herne Hill Velodrome which is currently fighting for its long term future http://www.savethevelodrome.com/ there will also be a speaker from the Campaign and we will be encouraging you to sign up to their pledge.
On December 13th we will be showing Les Triplettes de Belleville or Belleville Rendezvous and in the previous week 6 – 10th December we have Iain Boal bicycling historian coming to speak to us. Details of him and links to his lectures to the Copenhagen Museum of the Bicycle can be seen at http://www.copenhagenize.com/2010/04/iain-boal-bicycle-historian.html. We are currently looking for a venue so can not confirm an exact day that week but as this is a new venture for us it would be good to know how many of you would be interested in hearing Iain speak.
Lastly in January we will be a year old and will be asking everyone to renew their membership as part of that process we will be asking people to vote on the films to be shown in 2011 so if you have any suggestions of films we would be glad to hear them.
To join HBFS or contact us our e-mail is hackneybicyclefilmsociety (at) gmail.com
All the best
