One showing of a five-film program.

    • A VERY LONG SUMMER AFTERNOON Romania 2006 | DV | 12 min. Dir. Eliza Zdrv Four travelers. Four memories. Four bikes.
    • THE BICYCLE: FIGHTING AIDS WITH COMMUNITY MEDICINE Canada 2006 | DV | 14 min. Dir. Katerina Cizek An intimate look at AIDS through the eyes of Pax Chingawale, a resident South African.
    • WRITTEN IN THE STREETS UK 2006 | DV | 11 min. Dir. Philip Diprose This is an open portrait of London Couriers.
    • HUNGER IN THE CITY USA 2007 | Video | 7 min. Dir. Paola Gomez A group of people get together once a week and feed homeless people in downtown LA via bicycles.
    • AYAMYE* East Coast Premiere GOODNESS, KINDNESS, GENEROSITY USA 2007 | DV | 40 min. Dir. Eric Matthies, Tricia Todd In Ghana, West Africa, a rural village eagerly awaits a shipment of recycled bicycles from the United States. The majority of the bikes are sold in a colorful frenzy to pay for shipping costs, while the best bikes are set aside to take to the village. Ayamye* chronicles the lives of Nurse Letitia and Seth before they get the bicycles and again, one year later. These two individuals are very different from each other, the common thread being the need for transportation and the wish for positive development in their community. “Ayamye” is a moving, life-affirming film that proves sustainable solutions to crisis are not always complex.
