a collision of public art, live music and film

The Public Works Department of the Illuminated Corridor is assisting East Bay Bicycle Coalition with a string of bike-in movies (dates below).

This may be good moment to collect experimental work in film and video that looks at human-powered locomotion.

Have something? Please send an url or description with your contact information to proposals at illuminatedcorridor dot com.
