Autumn is knocking on the door and it’s time for some good films. Over the summer we powered plenty of music, and it’s nice to see the cinema getting back on track! On the 25th of September, Magnificent Revolution is putting on a Pedal Powered Cinema in cooperation with the Haringey Independent Cinema and Broadwater Community Centre. The cinema will be outside in the 1930s shell amphitheater next to the skate park at the Lordship Recreation Ground (near Adams Rd entrance, N17) . If weather fails us, then we’ll relocate to the Broadwater Farm Community Centre. Screening will start at 8pm and we’re going to show Bellevile Randesvouz.

“This is the first bicycle-powered digital recording ever (as far as we know). Recorded directly to DAT from the mixing desk, powered by the Rinky Dink, this CD captures the clarity and spirit of the music as it was performed in the summer of 1995.”

Thanks to Paul Conneally for mentioning this!

About NRG

It’s 2010 and you have been appointed to lead the new World Energy Directorate, with the power to control international spending and research on energy sources and production. Your decisions will influence the life of billions of humans, countless species and the Earth as a whole. How will your choices change all our lives during the planet’s next forty years of industrial development?

Part environmental game, part multimedia artwork, NRG (short for En-er-gy) is self-sustaining, people-powered installation. No previous knowledge about energy issues is assumed or required, but NRG is intended to stimulate thought and discussion about energy consumption, its links to global warming and the need for the development of lifestyle alternatives.

NRG was created as part of the first Digital Writer in Residence position at the Institute of Creative Technologies (IOCT), De Montfort University, Leicester, UK. It is funded by a Grant for the Arts from Arts Council England.
