B.I.K.E., dir. Jacob Sepitmus and Anthony Howard (2007)
Two filmmakers infiltrate an underground bicycle club. Directors Jacob Sepitmus and Anthony Howard create a gritty, conceptually dichotomous and visually stylistic film with B.I.K.E. The film is a depiction of the Brooklyn chapter of the Black Label Bike Club (BLBC), a fringe network of tall bike jousters that combine and justify their medieval inspired competitions with environmentalist and anti-consumerist rhetoric and politically radical ideals.
 
Death Pedal I, dir. Kaarem Shehab, (USA 2008)
Death Pedal II, dir. Kaarem Shehab, (USA 2008)
 
Bejgjing Bubbles, dir. Susanne Messmer and George Lindt (Germany, 2006; language: English and Mandarin, Polish subtitles)
How does the punk scene in Bejijng work? Is it possible to be a rebel there? Can you be a rebel and still dependent on your parents? These and other questions are answered by the film, a story of a few Beijing punks.

ART EXHIBITION
 
 
 
Paintings by Miro Biały
until 26th April
Galeria Wirydarz, ul . Grodzka 19
Miro Biały's art is difficult to categorise, but he himself describes it as metaphorical fragmentarism. The subjects of his paintings are people deformed and imperfect, yet at the same time beautiful. His paintings often move, hurt, offend or amuse, because they are about us and our emotions. 
 
 
 
bench monday by Paulina Chmielewska - exhibition opening
7th April (Thu), 7.30m p.m.
Cax Mafe, ul. Staszica 1
The idea is simple: it's Monday, you put on something pretty, get up on a bench and photograph yourself. Each photograph tells a different story. 
 Exhibition open until 8th May

8th April (Fri), 6 p.m.
