PEDAL POWER
A SCREENING OF CAR CHASES POWERED BY BICYCLES!
Pedal-powered Car Chase is a project by Lawrence Bradby and Matthew Robinson. It is a filmic intervention into urban space. A prediction and a contradiction.
Pedal-Powered Car Chase takes the explosive set pieces from big-budget action movies. These cinematic car-chases are both complicit in the global injustices of our oil economy and at the same time deliciously enjoyable. Cramming these clips together with cinéma-vérité footage of British traffic jams creates the final 15-minute film.
The projector is powered by four cyclists. A live soundtrack, composed by Mark Howe (The Neutrinos), is performed live by Mark along with percussionist Carl Cole.
Pedal-Powered Car Chase is free-to-view and unticketed. Prior to each performance, a new team of four cyclists will be recruited from the audience and from passers by. Climb onto a bike, help power the film, and see how the physical effort draws you into the performance.
Admission Free
5.30pm - 7.30pm.
No advance booking - just turn up!
