Clifford and one of the film’s contributors, Emma Street about their new film, touring across Picturehouse Cinemas from 18 April, Chasing The Sun. The Love Of Cinema podcast is proudly supported by Kia.Chasing The Sun is the new film from 2x BAFTA-winning director Michael B. Clifford.   In 1973 a professor in a little known American university set out to discover the most energy efficient creature on earth: turns out, it’s a human being on a bicycle! The experiment has since entered into legend and is now more relevant than ever before. We explore extraordinary personal stories of ordinary cyclists chasing the sun, revealing the power of the humble bicycle to transform lives and help save the planet.   The film features contributions from broadcaster and ITV’s voice of the Tour de France Ned Boulting, author and blogger Jools Walker, Turner Prize-winning artist Sir Richard Long and 4x Mountain Bike World Champion Tracy Moseley.   ‘'Inspiring and joyful, a love letter to the humble bicycle and all who ride one.”  James Spender, Cyclist Magazine   “Inspiring and very enjoyable! A pinch of astrophysics with a host of endearing characters.” Jeremy Vine, broadcaster and cycling champion   Green Screen is a community-led space to discuss environmental issues raised in the films we show.
