Celebrating NSW Bike Week, Willoughby City Council is hosting a bicycle film festival this Sunday the 28th Sept, 3.00 - 5.00pm. The event will feature a series of short films including the award-winning documentary Off the Rails, directed by Tim Cope. "It was March, the beginning of Spring in the northwest corner of Russia. Struggling to make 6km a day, Tim Cope & Chris Hatherly, both 20 year-old Australians had embarked on an epic journey across Russia, Siberia, Mongolia, and Northern China, finishing in Tiananmen square, Bejing." The 14 month cycling journey is as much about the warmth and hospitality of Siberian villagers and Mongolian nomads, as it is about the haunting landscapes, the outer limits of a cycling adventure and a tested friendship. Our venue is The Freeway Hotel located on the Gore Hill Freeway shared path. Bicycle parking is available. This event is presented in association with BikeSydney and the eighth annual Bicycle Film Festival (13-15 November 2008 @ the Dendy Newtown). For further information phone 9777 7706. This is a FREE event.
