A drive-in cinema but without the cars!

People ride to the screening on their two-wheeled beasts, then hook their bicycles to the generator to power the performance. The movie soundtrack is broadcast using a wireless transmitter, allowing audience members to tune in to the performance using their mobile phones or radios.

Cycle-In Cinema screens the world premiere of Deva Palmier’s Southbank Unseen, a series of four short documentary dramas that give us an alternative view of the South Bank through the eyes and ears of four extraordinarily gifted individuals: Carolyn Findlay, a clairvoyant; Peter Bleksley, a surveillance detective; John Hutchinson, a twelve-year-old on the high end of the autistic spectrum; and, in the fourth film, Prof. Geraint Rees, who will enlighten us on their three views from his own perspective as a neuroscientist.

This magnificent Cycle-In Cinema also won’t cost the earth. The electricity for the screenings will be produced by the cyclists - you, your friends and neighbours - and most of the equipment will be delivered on bikes and trailers.

Cycle-In Cinema will be a programme of 12 pedal-powered screenings in four London boroughs throughout 2011. The cinemas could take place anywhere! They will resurrect the abandoned corners of the capital and weave some magic into our local lidos, squares, rooftops and playgrounds. Cycle-In Cinema is an opportunity to bring communities together to take pride in their local areas, have some fun and experience something new and inspiring.
