Pantani: The Accidental Death of a Cyclist

Join us for a free screening of 'Pantani: The Accidental Death of a Cyclist', a feature length documentary about one of Italy's most controversial cyclists, Marco Pantani. It celebrates his life and achievements, and investigates the circumstances around his death in 2004 on Valentine's Day, aged just 34, alone in a cheap Italian hotel room.

Who was Marco Pantani? Hero or villain, victim or culprit, saint or sinner? According to his fans he was, they say, the greatest climber of them all, a man with a God-given talent whom, had he not himself been cheated, would surely have gone on to surpass even the greatest of the greats. To others he is simply a cheat. Either way, his capacity to suffer in cycling gave us all something beautiful and memorable to behold.

The screening will begin at 7pm, beers, wine, soft drinks and popcorn will be available to purchase from 6.30pm and during the film.
