Parkside hosting the Life Cycles Film premiere
Parkside Victoria Resort & Spa is premiering one of the most anticipated mountain bike films ever created: Stance Film's Life Cycles, on January 8, 2011.
The British Columbia-based filmmakers tell a spectacular story of the bike, from its creation to its eventual demise.
A visually stunning journey with thought-provoking narration, Life Cycles uses Ultra HD to document the many stories surrounding the mountain bike and its culture.
It is being premiered across the globe in front of cycling enthusiasts and followers of innovative filmmaking alike.
Some of the world's top freeriders guide viewers through the film, including Brandon Semenuk, Mike Hopkins, Evan Schwartz, Riley McIntosh, Cam McCaul, Graham Agassiz, Matt Hunter and Thomas Vanderham.
Due to the film's enhanced visuals, it is only being premiered at select venues with full HD capacity. Considered a unique premiere venue, Parkside's HD theatre was chosen for its 132-inch screen, impressive surround sound and HD capabilities, as well as its comfortable atmosphere and plush oversized seating.
“No one has done a premiere at such a venue,” said Life Cycles tour manager Alynn Smith. “I am sure it could be made into something pretty cool.”
Parkside is hosting four showings throughout the day: 12:45pm, 2pm, 3:15pm and 4:30pm.
Tickets cost $10 and are available at Trek Bicycle Store, Oak Bay Bicycles WestShore/Victoria and Parkside front desk.
All proceeds are going to Team Aviawest's Junior Development Team and the South Island Mountain Bike Society (SIMBS).
