Saddle up for an Evening of Pedal-Powered Cinema on Portland this September!

Portland’s internationally recognised b-side festival is partnering with Dorset’s touring arts charity Artsreach to present a special pedal-powered cinema screening in the stunning cliff-top gardens of Pennsylvania Castle this summer!

Audiences can put their feet to good use and get immersed in the experience by hopping on one of sixteen special bikes to help power a cinema screening of the animated classic BelleVille Rendez Vous as Electric Pedals arrive on Portland!

A visual treat for audiences of all ages, BelleVille Rendez Vous follows the story of Champion – a boy who loves to watch TV – especially the red-hot jazz singing trio, The Triplets of Belleville, who belt out their toe-tapping numbers in the irresistible style of Django Reinhardt and the Hot Club de France. As a grownup, Champion becomes a Tour de France racer, but gets kidnapped en route by sinister mafia types; it’s up to his gran and his lazy dog Bruno come to Champion’s rescue, and they enlist the help of The Triplets themselves, who are now elderly ladies!

This stunning animated film has captured the imagination of audiences all over the world over with its unique blend of classic animation and razor-sharp wit.

As headline sponsors of the 2023 b-side festival, Pennsylvania Castle Estate invite you to pack a picnic, dress for all weather, bring your cushions and camping-chairs and be prepared to hop in the saddle for an unforgettable outdoor cinema experience on Thursday 7 September.

With bikes suitable for both adults and children to pedal – all the electricity for the screening is produced by the cyclists! There are no batteries, generators or back-up power sources – it’s all in the thighs!

Gates open at 7:45pm and The Hayloft Café Bar will be open before the screening at 8:15pm. Where possible, audiences are encouraged to walk, cycle or car share to this event. Tickets and further information are available from 01305 568004 or online at b-side.org.uk

The event takes place on Thu 7th September, 8:15pm. Pennsylvania Castle, Portland. 01305 568044
