The PSU Cycling Club is hosting a free screening of the cyclocross film “Pure Sweet Hell” at PSU tomorrow night (10/7).
Shot entirely on 8mm film, the film tells the story of cyclocross, which according to filmmakers Brian Vernor and Willie K. Bullion is “a sport that has emerged as bike racing’s punk rock cousin.” Here’s more from the film’s website:
“Told from an insider’s perspective, the filmmakers traveled to ‘cross competitions throughout north America, dug up vintage photos and film footage, and followed ‘cross luminaries Justin Robinson, Gina Hall, Barry Wicks and Rick Hunter.
Shot entirely on Super 8 and supported by experimental rock music, PURESWEETHELL surfaces both the strong community behind the solitary sport and the grace that arises amidst all of its grit.”
