Johnny Zapatos's film about the 2005 World Naked Bike Ride in London will be one of two films shown in Cycle Cardiff's DVD night at Chapter Arts Centre,Market Road, Canton, at 7.00 p.m. on Monday, 3rd December. "World Naked Bike Ride - the Documentary" is narrated by Jon Snow and was a finalist at the Widescreen International Film Festival in 2006.
The film outlines the background to the ride's development, as a way of drawing vivid attention to the dangers of fuel dependency whilst celebrating the human body and human-powered transport. Nudity is a central feature, though not compulsory. Skaters are also welcome and wigs, body paint and other expressions of individuality are encouraged! In the film, the story is then told of planning to take the ride to the streets of central London, and of the epic first ride by 200+ riders.
Following the film there will be an update on subsequent rides - this year there were 1,000+ riders in London, with rides in a further four U.K. cities, and some sixty worldwide. There will time for discussion, and information on how to be part of the planning for a proposed ride in Cardiff in June 2008.
