Velorama
A new film created from stunning British Film Institute archive film about a Century of the Bicycle.
Velorama, is a specially-commissioned new feature-length documentary directed by award-winning filmmaker Daisy Asquith. Created using over 100 different titles from the BFI National Archive (including footage from Mitchell & Kenyon, Topical Budget, COI and British Council), it shows a Century of the Bicycle on film, from the invention of the modern bike to the gruelling pursuit of Le Tour, all set to dreamy electronic music by Bill Nelson. Velorama will take you on an unmissable two-wheeled journey.
For this original soundtrack Bill will form collaborations with young Yorkshire musicians. Produced by Crossover, who complete a trilogy after the much-loved From The Sea To The Land Beyond (British Sea Power’s lyrical meditation on a century of the British Coast) and The Big Melt.
