Unusual open-air cinema: pedal to generate electricity for the projector

Published by Nathanaël de Sortiraparis · Published on July 8th, 2023 at 03:24 p.m.
A program of short films to be screened while you pedal your bike - that's the idea behind the CinéCyclo Tour Grand Paris open-air film festival, to be held in five towns across the Paris region from July 19 to 23. Please note that screenings on Saturday July 22 and Sunday July 23 are cancelled!

Are you ready to pedal your way to a movie? That's the unusual and ecological concept behind the CinéCyclo Tour Grand Paris, organized with Paris je t'aime. The program for this open-air film festival includes five free screenings in five towns in Greater Paris, from July 19 to 23. What's special is that spectators take turns on bicycles to generate the electricity needed to project the films and power the speakers.

The aim is to organize these screenings using low-tech, 100% autonomous equipment. This original project will take place in the following towns: Saint-Ouen, Saint-Denis, Aulnay-sous-Bois, Sceaux and Paris.
