Bicycle Film Festival Program 4: Keirin Queen/Onna Keirn Oh, hosted by Japan Society

Saturday's second program (fourth in the series) for the Bicycle Film Festival is comprised of a feature film about a female Keirin track racer from about half a century ago. This program has been hosted by the Japan Society, and I expect a lot of tiny hats, tight jeans, and really flash NJS-appointed bikes. Lock your shit up y'all. You can buy a ticket for Program 4 only for $10, or a Festival Pass for $27, which includes all three days' worth of films:

KEIRIN QUEEN/ONNA KEIRN OH
HOSTED BY JAPAN SOCIETY
Japan 1956 | DVD 88min.
Dir. Kiyoshi Komori
A classic Japanese Keirin track film screened for the first time in the United States (with English subtitles)! Miki, a daughter of a tiny fish storeowner in a mountain village, gains confidence riding a bicycle because of her morning routine of riding to the fish market. Miki starts training very hard at the Nippon Keirin School and begins to ride the road to success on the way to becoming a Keirin Queen.

All the Bicycle Film Festival films are being shown at 501 Studio, at the corner of East Fifth St. and Brushy St. I know it should go without saying but LOCK YOUR BIKES. Last year some expensive shit was ripped off, and I'm not just talking about bikes. Wheels were jacked, and I believe a seat was taken as well. Secure your shit, your momma isn't going to be looking out for it while you're watching movies and drinking beer.
