Town of Falmouth Bikeways Committee Hosts a Free, Public Film and Speaker Event on Bicycling and Sustainability, with Director Kristin Tieche / Thursday, August 3 at 7pm The Town of Falmouth Bikeways Committee invites everyone to a free film and speaker event on Thursday, August 3 featuring Kristin Tieche and her Velo Visionaries short documentary films about bicycling and sustainability. This program is funded by the Woods Hole Foundation and is open to all ages. It will take place at the Hermann Foundation Room at Falmouth Public Library, Katherine Lee Bates Road (meeting room entry). Join environmental filmmaker Kristin Tieche for her popular short film series Velo Visionaries, which presents a series of interviews with great thinkers of today’s global bicycle culture from the point of view of the person behind the handlebars. Kristin’s films and blogs focus on bicycling, sustainability, and urbanism. The goals of Velo Visionaries are: • to DOCUMENT the visionary people who are actively involved in the worldwide movement to create more sustainable, resilient communities, and how the bicycle plays a part in this vision • to EDUCATE global audiences about the movement and the important people involved in it • to ENGAGE viewers in a dialogue about the movement toward paradigm shift • to TRANSFORM mentalities about the people with whom we share our communities, with a deep exploration into the identities of people who choose the bicycle as their main form of transportation A Q & A with this dynamic and creative filmmaker and activist/educator follows. Come enjoy the films, connect with others in the community who enjoy cycling and support cycling for environmental reasons, and be inspired by Kristin and the bicyclist whose passion and vision she captures in her films. Light refreshments will be served. Learn more about Kristin and Velo Visionaries at www.velovisionaries.com.
