Drive-in movie theatres were a thing back in the 50's and 60's. Now, sustainability and environmental issues have driven to a substantial change: no more cars, but... bicycles, instead! This week, in the beautiful city of Grado by the seaside, Cinebike 2023 will make its debut: a movie festival to be attended by bike, from June 16 to June 24, will take place in different spots of the marine town, including the Ciclovia Alpe Adria – a biking route connecting Grado and Friuli Venezia Giulia directly with Salzburg (Austria).
The bike-in will be in the Cinebike Arena, in Grado (near Gorizia), and entry will be granted to all those arriving by bike, by scooter or on foot, thus promoting a “slow and green” approach – and a more sustainable mobility. All by the sea, in the splendid setting of Grado which every summer attracts multitude of tourists, and many of them from abroad.
The festival program features both oldies, like movies by renowned Italian director Dino Risi and French director Jacques Tati, and recent or new movies, with previews and documentaries too. Cinebike also set up a national competition for schools, Cinebike Shorts (in collaboration with MyMovies): the two winners will be announced on June 19 with a special award ceremony at Parco delle Rose, featuring famed Italian rapper and DJ Frankie hi-nrg mc.
