This may be the most exciting movie you’ll see this year!
On Friday, September 11, 2009 at 7:00PM, Sharebike.org will be presenting a screening of Veer at the Taubman Museum of Art in downtown Roanoke. This will be only the 25th showing in North America.
Admission price is $8.50 and tickets are available at the door, or in advance by calling 540-342-5760.
Veer is an intimate, behind the scenes look at bicycling culture and how it connects to our other urban cultures. Veer shows how bicyclists are a part of schools, neighborhoods, local foods, community projects, arts, policy making, sustainable living… but most of all, it’s just so fun! and the soundtrack is excellent!
Take a chance to win a tall bike, created by Bad Eye Deer!
Everyone who rides a bike to the screening will be offered complimentary valet parking, and a surprise!
After the party, join the “Well Lit Bike Ride” to the Car Less Museum and enjoy an after movie popcorn party. Maybe enter the “Slowest Bike Rider contest”, or watch a “Tall Bike Joust”.
This isn’t just for bicyclists. This is about having fun just as much as bicycling and relationships in our urbiculture mosaic. This is how we all connect!
Veer is brought to you as a fundraiser for Sharebike.org, a charitable organization which was created to stimulate, support and link together a wide range of community-based bicycle initiatives in the Roanoke Valley.
“Veer explores America’s fast-growing bicycle culture by profiling five people whose lives are inextricably tied to bicycle and the bike-centric social groups they belong to. The film follows these characters over the course of a year, offering a behind-the-scenes look at their personal struggles and triumphs. Veer examines what it means to be part of a community, and how social movements are formed.”
This is not just for biker folks
“The Film Society’s Green Screens program addresses through film the vital environmental concerns of global warming, the safety of our food supply, sustainable living, and more. Each screening includes a discussion and reception with artists and expert commentators, where we invite non-profit organizations and others to provide materials and raise awareness of the many positive actions we can all take.” —www.lincolncenter.org
