A (bi)cycle is a camera.

Throughout 2026 CAR presents a series of screenings of artist films in which the (bi)cycle has been an integral part to the process or outcome of the film. Be it to ride to the filming location, as a way to get to new thoughts, cycling as an instrument or part of the concept.

The currently planned screenings have and will take place in both the Netherlands and Belgium:

If you are interested in hosting a screening event, please get in contact and we can discuss the options with a current or new programme of films and supporting discussion, workshop, connection. The event now lasts for 2 hours (excluding setup) and can be hosted anywhere with a screen/beamer.

PROGRAMME

Low-Atlas |James Crossley| 0:41”

Low-Atlas takes breaths in Morocco's cold desert expanses. It pauses over a trickle of water. The gathering of its pieces felt like picking up forms to create a whole, not to achieve completeness, but to hold focus, or perhaps ensure some aspects of defocus, while moving from one place to the other.

Searching |Isabella van der Heijden| 8:54”

A shadow of an equestrian on a satellite photo, an open window from an apartment, a path not yet seen. What starts as a search for Isabella’s deceased grandfather on Google Maps Streetview, develops into a desire to capture herself in this digital reality.


Material Transitions |Aaron McCarthy| 4.28”

Using a bike as a method of de-carbonised research and artistic production, Material Transitions is a response to fieldwork and audio/visual tests in Aaron McCarthy’s immediate area on the east coast of Scotland, using text as an intervention within the moving image, disintegrating the landscape imagery into a digital blank space.
