Hosted by Veselka

32 2nd Ave. at 2nd St
7:00 pm / PROGRAM 1
PERSONAL GOLD
USA 2015 | 89 min.
Dir. Sky Christopherson, Tamara Christopherson
Personal Gold is a behind-the-scenes experience of four women cyclists leading up to the 2012 Olympics. These underdog women become America’s only hope for a medal after the men’s team is banned during the Lance Armstrong drug scandal. Severely underfunded, the women utilize resourceful DIY approaches to tweak their bodies to higher performance, as they attempt to do the impossible; win the first U.S. Women’s Track Cycling medal in over 20 years.
9:00 pm / PROGRAM 2 - Repeat of Program 1
SATURDAY, JUNE 25
5:00 pm / PROGRAM 5
SVEN THE FINAL YEAR
Belgium 2015 | 98min.
Dir. Jan Vandermotte
This is a rare opportunity to witness first hand the life of arguably one of the greatest cyclocross racers ever Sven Nys. Director Jan Vandermotte followed Nys’ every move for his final year. This is a unique chance to get into the head and life of a true sports phenomenon. This marked the end of an 18-year career with 291 victories and several Belgian and world titles.
