Screening of Bill Cunningham cycling/photography documentary at LMNH

Would there be any interest in a screening of the new Bill Cunningham documentary at LMNH in a couple of weeks?

It would cost a couple of hundred quid to rent the film, I would probably ask for pay-what-you-want donations rather than set a fixed ticket price though.

"Before the internet and before the likes of fashion bloggers, there was Bill Cunningham, the street-fashion and society chronicler for The New York Times. After 50 years of cycling the streets of the Big Apple with his camera, snapping the great, the good and the stylish, Bill Cunningham is now in front of the lens in this loving and intimate portrait of a remarkable man and a chronicler of a city."

Saw the trailer for this ages ago and wondered when it was going to come out! Would love to see it so if there's a screening I'd be up for going.

Yes! def def up for going. Will try and drag as many people as I can along

Just book it in, you'll easily find enough people to make it worth

I have seen this and can vouch for it being pretty amazing. It's really more about fashion than anything else but it's touching, unusual and fascinating. Really worth your time. Bill Cunningham is an absolute original, something that you don't see too often nowadays.

Agreed... It's more fashion than cycling but I can't help but admire the guys dedication... he sleeps in a room full of filing cabinets of his negatives... and I love the fact that he cycles all over NYC without batting an eyelid at the age of 80-odd.

Update: this is now booked at LMNH for Saturday 21st April.

top work!

oh bollocks! i'm away that day

d'oh.

Wotcha. Just wondering how long the current waitlist is? I only just saw the thread, am really interested in seeing the movie but it looks like all the tickets are already taken.

Managed to get tickets for this! looking forward to it.

Hey Duroy,

The waitlist is small, just waiting for LMNH to confirm their capacity before releasing some more tickets... I'll update this thread before anywhere else so you get a chance to grab some.

DJ booked for after the film... maybe I should sort out an afterparty...

Just released another 40-ish tickets at http://www.cyclelove.net/london/2012/cyclelove-presents-bill-cunningham-new-york/

Dammit, gutted! Wanted to get 3 tickets to this but sold out .... can anyone assist?

This is a fantastic movie and really want to how it off to friends. I gave it a glowing review in the LCC mag last month.

Well done 3stripe! The showing was great.

Film was really enjoyable and there was a great atmosphere. Looking forward to what you show next.

Thanks !

Cheers mate, glad you enjoyed it.

Just posted some tweets and photos at http://www.cyclelove.net/london/2012/launch-party-recap.

If demand is still there, I might organise a second screening, although it would most likely have to be £5/ticket this time.
