Fairfield Bike Shorts (https://www.facebook.com/events/502954263123329/) is an innovative Australian film making project run through the Western Sydney Cycling Network and supported by the Fairfield City Council, the Powerhouse Youth Theatre, and The Spokes People. Fairfield Bike Shorts promotes cycling and bicycle infrastructure available within the Fairfield City Council area through storytelling and film. The films produced will premiere on Saturday 12 October at the Powerhouse Youth Theatre, Fairfield NSW.

Locals have been gathering in Fairfield every week over the last two months, in the Fairfield Bike Shorts intensive film making workshops, to create four different short films that heavily feature themes around cycling. These four short films, each under 10 minutes in length, consist of two fictional narratives, a documentary and an animation. They feature humour, drama, mystery and heart-felt stories to catalyse conversation and contemplation about cycling to reach out to people who may have cycled in the past and no longer cycle today.

the plan is to meet at fairfield startion at 2:15 and a 2:30pm departure for quick one hour tour of fairfield (probably around 10km at a really social pace, no need to break out the stretchy clothes) with the guys from the western sydney cycling network (http://www.westernsydneycyclingnetwork.com.au/) before getting to the powerhouse youth theatre (where the free screening is being held) to see the films.

please go here to reserve (http://fairfieldbikeshorts.wordpress.com/) your free ticket for the shorts (details will be posted sept 25)

the films will be over by 6pm, we will find somewhere local for dinner (optional)

I can be contacted on the day via 0411 437137

hope to see you there!
