2014-04-14 Bicycle Film Society Show - The Middle of the World
Posted by
@Zebra_Cyclist
The Middle of the World is a road movie on bicycles. It is freely adapted from the true story of an unemployed truck driver who, with his wife and five children, pedals from Paraíba, in the poverty-stricken Northeast of Brazil, all the way to Rio de Janeiro looking for a job. Romão (the father) feels destined to earn 1000 reais (about 300 US$) a month a vast sum for Brazilian standards. On four bikes, the family goes through five states, knows solidarity and indifference, aggressiveness and cordiality. A 2000-mile odyssey through the hinterlands of Brazil all the way to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil's best-known postcard. The Middle of the World shows the quest for the dream of a decent life a story of dreams and hope

The Shorts
Preceding the feature, we will have our usual selection of short films. We're always keen to promote the work of local filmmakers, and as part of this, we will be having Ed Andrews talk about his film The Joy Machine...hopefully this will be the first of many sessions where makers get to talk about their films and the role of cycling.
