www.bicycology.org.uk/stroud.htm

Bicycology's fourth Bike Film Night in Stroud and at SVA for the first time.
Bicycology is a national grassroots volunteer group working to promote cycling and to make links with wider environmental and social issues. Film nights are one of the ways the group attempts to pursue this work. Films will include the feature length 'Pedal',
a fascinating and intimate look at the lives of New York Bicycle Messengers.
The main film will be accompanied by a variety of shorts, which will include 'Eat? Sleep? Bikes?' a documentary which follows a team of vegan cyclists as they compete on fixed-wheel bikes in a race through America's Death Valley.
The event will be a prelude to Bike Week later in the month. There will be plenty of information about upcoming Bike-related events, as well as discussion about the films, and their local relevance.

Heima, a film by Sigur Rós
Friday 20th June 8pm
Stroud Valleys Artspace
4 John Street, Stroud GL5 2HA
www.heima.co.uk

Last year, in the endless magic hour of the Icelandic summer, Sigur Rós played a series of concerts around their homeland. Combining both the biggest and smallest shows of their career, the entire tour was filmed, and now provides a unique insight into one of the world’s shyest and least understood bands captured live in their natural habitat.
The culmination of more than a year spent promoting their hugely successful ‘Takk...’ album around the world, the Icelandic tour was free to all-comers and went largely unannounced.
Playing in deserted fish factories, outsider art follies, far-flung community halls, sylvan fields, darkened caves and the hoofprint of Odin’s horse, Sleipnir, the band reached an entirely new spectrum of the Icelandic population; young and old, ardent and merely quizzical, entirely by word-of-mouth.

Simon Ryder Elixr lead artist will give a short introduction and present a special screening of all eight Elixir residents artists work.
Elixir is a 2 year programme of artists’ residencies in wards and departments of Gloucestershire Royal Hospital. This project is led by Willis Newson in partnership with SVA and Art Nucleus. The residencies have aimed to shed new light on some of the less understood or ‘invisible’ activities within the hospital and to inspire the creation of screen-based artworks for display in a dedicated exhibition space as part of a 2-year curated programme of on-screen activity.
