The recently released documentary, The Moment, is screening on Feb. 8 at the Heritage Playhouse in Gibsons. This feature film shares the backstory and challenges behind the formation of the freeride mountain biking sport and how it ultimately took the B.C. tourism sector by storm. It was directed by Darcy Hennessey Turenne of Vancouver and is presented by Sunshine Coast Tourism (SCT) and Kranked Bikes.
“We are thrilled to sponsor this film on behalf of our mountain bike community and all the local businesses that support the sector,” said Paul Kamon, SCT executive director. “So much hard work goes into the creation of our world-class network of trails. The Moment is a celebration of that work and of the joy it has brought to both local and visiting riders in B.C.”
The Heritage Playhouse is located at 662 North Road. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and the film starts at 7 p.m. An after party at Tapworks in Gibsons Landing will follow the film. Tickets are $12.50 and are available at Spin Cycles, Off the Edge and Tapworks.
The film premiered at the Whistler Film Festival in December and has already received multiple five-star reviews and has seen sold-out shows in B.C., California and the U.K.
