Feature: ‘O Caminho Das Nuvens’ Brazil, 2003, 85 minutes, Portugese with English subtitles

directed by Vicente Amorim. All movie events start with “Barb’s Bike Shorts” (22 min), prizes and more. ‘O Caminho das Nuvens’ Romao is the father of a family of seven from Paraíba, Brazil. He decides to hit the road to Rio in search of a job that will pay a salary of one thousand dollars a month, thus providing decent life for his family. To achieve this dream, he decides to travel 3200 km on bicycles, with his wife Rose and their five children, facing hunger, heat, fatigue and violence .

The film is based on the true story of Cicero Dias Ferreira, an unemployed truck driver who, along with his wife and five children, rode from the Santa Rita , Paraíba, to the Bangu, Rio de Janeiro.

The film title’s literal translation is “The Trail of Clouds” but it’s official English film title is “The Middle of the World”.

before the feature, we’ll play:

‘Girl and a Bicycle’ USA, 1995, 15 minutes, directed by Jon Behrens

This film is a collaboration between Jon Behrens and fellow filmmaker and friend Rasha Refaie.The film was inspired by a dream that Rasha had about a girl, a bicycle and a silver colored egg. The viewer sees Rasha peddling all over Seattle through city streets, parks, and ultimately ending up a graveyard were she begins to experience the nosebleed of her life. Rubato composed the films sound track. This is the rare solarized version of this film.

Ride-In tonight – Saturday, June 26th, 7pm ish!

Molly Turnbull — Sat, 26 Jun 2010 14:38:47 +0000

If you woke up this morning to the sound of rain and thought the Ride-In Outdoor movie is cancelled – you’re wrong.
Please, for the sake of having a good life, remember that our summers are short and can be full of marvellous adventures, if you only you are prepared. Read the list of how to prepare for tonight below, come out to enjoy a field full of bicycles, a self-packed picnic, live local music of the James Clark Trio and
Doug Hoyer and Mitchmati, ‘Pee Wee’s big adventure’. Then, if you stay to the end of the show, you’ll see the enchanting sight of hundreds of blinky red lights ascend through the trees, out of the valley, seeking their cozy beds.
If you’ve been watching the weather, you may have noticed that we’ve had many days with a bit of rain followed by glorious sun and warmth. We’re not sure what the weather is going to do, so we’re planning to go right ahead.
If we cancel, we’ll post something by 6pm so stay tuned.

Because of the morning rain, the valley will be chilly when the sun goes down. Here’s how to prepare for the Ride-In Outdoor movie tonight.

1) Pack mitts, a touque, long underwear, two pairs of warm sox (in case one gets wet), a cozy sweater, and a rain shell – pants and jacket. Even though it won’t be raining (that’s my plan), the rain gear helps keep the moisture and wind out.

2) pack extra high-calorie food for your picnic. It’s time to make or buy cookies, crackers and a high-protein dip, or left-over lasagne.

3) find your sleeping bag. Make sure you bring something to keep it dry from the ground…

4) bring something to sit on: A tarp, a little chair, a big plastic bag

5) extra to drink. Dehydration can make you feel colder than you need to be. Bring the cocoa, bring the tea, but also bring water.

Scroll down this blog page to find a map on how to get to the site. We’ll have a sign or two coming in from the River Valley Road.

Come out and play!
