By Bicycle Through the Future: Cycling Cities in Bayreuth

What does a city look like where mobility is shaped not by car traffic, but by quality of life, encounters, and sustainable design? The documentary Cycling Cities – A New Story of Mobility invites you to an inspiring journey through Europe's bicycle metropolises at the Art and Culture House Neuneinhalb.

A Cinematic Journey Through Europe's Cities

Journalist and filmmaker Ingwar Perowanowitsch closely follows the mobility transformation. Traveling by bicycle from Freiburg through Paris, Amsterdam, and Hamburg to Copenhagen, he meets people who are rethinking public space and gradually making their cities more livable.

The camera focuses on bike culture, urban spaces, and how mobility shapes everyday life. Between streets, squares, and encounters, a documentary emerges that makes societal change tangible rather than abstract.

Dramaturgy Between Movement and Vision

With a runtime of 84 minutes, Cycling Cities combines personal travel observation, journalistic research, and socio-political perspectives. The presentation follows the rhythm of movement: paths become narrative spaces, cities become stages, and the bicycle serves as the common thread of a new urban dramaturgy.

The film showcases how transportation policy, urban planning, and climate protection intersect. Its unique quality lies in the blend of documentary precision and vivid visual imagery. Thus, a stage experience of thought emerges: the audience not only observes foreign cities but also discovers their own surroundings from a new perspective.

Discussion with the Filmmaker

After the screening, Ingwar Perowanowitsch will be present. The following panel discussion will address the film's impulses, the future of sustainable mobility, and how Bayreuth can design its public space. The direct exchange transforms the film screening into a lively cultural evening with space for questions and perspectives.

An Evening for City Dwellers and Forward Thinkers

The theatrical atmosphere of the Art and Culture House Neuneinhalb provides the perfect setting for this special event. Instead of distant theory, visitors are treated to a sensory and stimulating cultural experience: moving images, urban soundscapes, and a conversation that extends the film beyond the credits.

Conclusion

Cycling Cities connects cinema, urban society, and sustainable mobility for an evening with an inspiring impact. Those who want to learn how Europe's bicycle cities are shaping their future and what ideas can be transferred to Bayreuth will experience a documentary of immediate social relevance here. Admission is free; donations are welcome. Early reservation via email is recommended.
