Cowichan Performing Arts Centre’s fall season debuts with a special screening of the film, Marinoni – The Fire in the Frame on Saturday, Sept. 17 at 7 p.m.

This highly-acclaimed documentary, nominated for the Canadian Screen Award and Best Canadian Documentary in the 2014 Hot Docs Film Festival, follows world-renowned champion cyclist and bike maker Giuseppe Marinoni in his 2012 attempt to break the “hour record”, the farthest distance cycled around a velodrome track in one hour in his 75-79 age category. This movie was a Top 10 Audience Favourite at Hot Docs and filmmaker Tony Girardin will be hosting a special Q & A session after the film.
