Bicycling for a New World - Caravan/Prague Released on DVD

Caravan/Prague, a feature-length documentary, is a first-hand account of this journey to the historic 2000 Prague protests. Filmmaker Zack Winestine rode the entire trip with the caravan, filming from his bicycle as events unfolded. He recounts his hopes, fears, and
questions, conveying the experience of participating in a bicycling community trying to bring about change that is both visionary and concrete.

A bicycle caravan — with the theme, “Money or Life” — travels 50 miles across Europe to join protests in Prague against the International Monetary Fund and World Bank. The goal is to create a mobile utopian community which will be a living counter-example to the
values of these powerful financial institutions. The landscape is beautiful, and bicycles possess their own poetry. But it’s not always easy functioning without money. The authorities have their own ideas about policing the intersection of utopia and everyday life. And then there’s the matter of shutting down the IMF/World Bank meeting

The film is available through most internet DVD retailers (including Amazon). Extras include an extended scene, trailer, DVD-Rom feature with extensive information about economic globalization, and a short film about the 2001 FTAA protests in Quebec City. The film is distributed by Cinema Libre Studio.

Zack Winestine has directed short films, documentaries, and music videos. His first feature film, “States of Control,” played at film festivals worldwide and received both domestic and international distribution. He has also worked for many years as a Director of Photography on independent features, music videos (for groups such as the B-52’s, ZZ Top, Harry Connick Jr., and Public Enemy), and documentaries. A formative early experience was his work as assistant to the Director of Photography on Stanley Kubrick’s “The Shining”.

Stills and trailer for the film can be found at www.caravanprague.com
