The Fairfield Bike Shorts independent community film making project has been run over the last couple of months. It’s been an intensive but fun and exciting period of workshops for locals and emerging talent and we’re set to launch our FOUR short films plus a behind-the-scenes documentary on the 12th October 2013. Join us for this special occasion as we take a look at what happened during the workshops, watch the films, and speak to the participants who were involved in the project.

FILM SYNOPSIS
The Gypsy Spokers:
A fight over candy leads to a turf war between the Gypsy Spokers and the Razors. How will they settle this war and who will win - the bicycle riders or the scooter skaters?
Wheels of Justice: SBU (Special Bikes Unit):
A girl’s bicycle is stolen and mysteriously reappears in her basement, tyres slashed and bicycle broken. Who did this and why? Follow Detectives Roy and Johnson as they uncover the truth and bring about justice.
Cycling around Fairfield Documentary:
We take a look at around Fairfield and hear stories and memories of different groups of people who cycle around the Fairfield City region, ranging from an older couple actively involved with the Western Sydney Cycling Network to a group of youths who leisurely cycle around Fairfield for fun and fitness.
Bicycle Animation:
A bicycle yearns for attention and love from its owner who is now too busy to take it out on rides and looks for companionship and freedom within a world dominated by cars.
Behind-the-Scenes Documentary:
We take a quick look at this documentary in-the-making starting with the Fairfield Bike Shorts workshops including interviews with some of the project organisers and participants. This documentary will continue to be added upon with the Premier Screening featuring within the documentary.
