FRIDAY 21st
CYCLE-IN CINEMA: MONTY PYTHON AND THE HOLY GRAIL - Hackney City Farm, Goldsmith’s Road, Bethnal Green, London, E2 8QA – 7pm – £5
Squeezing it in before the weather turns rubbish, Magnificent Revolution are hosting the famous(ish) Cycle-In Cinema, showing Monty Python’s Holy Grail. For those unfamiliar with the event, they bascially hook up a mess of bikes to a bunch of generators then the audience takes turns to pedal, which powers the cinema. Gorilla Film Magazine (the site you’re on now, using a computer to access) will also be there showing some short films and flogging some mags and T-Shirts. There’s hot food and suitably temperatured ales at the event, but it is open air, so we suggest bringing a blanket or animal skin.
