THE GIRL ON A MOTORCYCLE (1968)
Run Time: 0:00
Director: Jack Cardiff
Writer: André Pieyre de Mandiargues (novel), Ronald Duncan (screenplay)
Key Cast: Marianne Faithfull, Alain Delon, Roger Mutton
SUMMARY
Newly-married Rebecca leaves her husband's Alsatian bed on the Harley-Davidson given to her by a former lover. Her early-morning ride (escape) to visit her lover is accompanied by reveries about her conflicting desires; her stable husband versus her passionate motorcyclist lover. As she nears her destination, Rebecca's excitement over this sexual reunion becomes an extended motorcycle masturbation, with the vibration of her V-twin bringing her to a frenzy of erotic speed. (See our article 'The Sex Machine' here)
Rebecca's character is based (visually) on Anke-Eve Goldmann, a real-life German motorcycle rider and competitor, who invented a one-piece leather riding suit for women, which she had made at Harro Leathers. Anke-Eve bucked societal norms by daring to ride a powerful motorcycle in post-war Germany, and faced considerable condemnation initially, but became famous as a journalist writing for magazines around the world by the 1950s. She was friends with author André Pieyre de Mandiargues, who wrote his novella 'The Motorcycle' with a central character resembling Anke-Eve, who was then married to a German television producer, but had a passionate affair with a dashing Swiss motorcyclist. Rebecca bears no real resemblance to Anke-Eve, who was confident and strong, although her leather catsuit 'inspired' a generation of European men...as did Marianne Faithful's reverse strip-tease in this film!
'Girl on a Motorcycle' (called 'Naked Under Leather' in Europe...a more exact representation of the film's intentions) is part of a long tradition of eroticized girl+motorcycle films, beginning in 1928 with 'Impatience' (watch it here!), and continuing with such films as 'Barb Wire', etc. The motorcycle as a totem of erotic power, combined with a beautiful woman, is a one-two punch for both filmmaker and audience, and has become an irresistibly enduring subject for films.
RELATED MEDIA
Alain Delon said of Marianne Faithfull: “She is a happening all to herself. She is the type of girl men fought dragons for in mythology, the type that duels have been fought over.” - from an interview with the actors on the making of The Girl On A Motorcycle in the October 1968 issue of ABC Film Review, by Philip Bradford.

EAT THE PEACH (1986)
Run Time: 1:37:00
Director: Peter Ormrod
Writer: Peter Ormrod, John Kelleher
Key Cast: Stephen Brennan, Eamon Morrissey, Catherine Byrne
FILM MAKERS
Eat the Peach is a 1986 British-Irish comedy film, directed by Peter Ormrod. The title is derived from the T.S.Eliot poem 'The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock'. The film was was written by Peter Ormrod with John Kelleher. It's a film about eccentricity and companionship, and having a dream.
SUMMARY
The story takes place in an Irish village a few miles from the border with Northern Ireland. When the local Japanese-owned computer factory closes, the principal employer in the area seems to become the mob that runs a smuggling operation. One day Vinnie (Stephen Brennan), one of the men thrown out of work, and his brother-in-law Arthur (Eamon Morissey), happen to see a videotape of the 1964 Elvis Presley film Roustabout, in the village bar. They see a cyclist in the film ride in a carnival Wall of Death - a high walled barrel-like tank where centrifugal force keeps the rider up in the air circling. Straight away Vinnie begins to draw diagrams, make plans, and measurements; he clears a patch of land near his house.
Vinnie's wife Nora (Catherine Byrne - Alice More in the series 'The Tudors') protests and goes back to her mother with their daughter Vicky. It's a new kitchen she wants, not a Wall of Death. The men however, continue with the work and sinking tree posts into the ground and putting up a huge cylindrical construction. They become energetic and resourceful. Vinnie believes his Wall of Death will be a source of income - that people will buy tickets to stand on a gallery around the top of the rink and watch him and Arthur give their daring performances. Nora returns.
The film is based on actual events: a true story of two brothers-in-law Connie Kiernan and Michael Donoghue living in Granard, County Longford (Ireland). They build a wall of death in their back garden for fun. The director, Peter Ormrod, had seen a huge, wooden tank just off the road when he was looking for items for Irish television.

A note from Writer/Director Eric Ristau: Our current youth culture is largely focused on virtual experiences rather than the tangible, physical stuff past generations were drawn to– in this case, motorcycles, cars and expression of personal freedom through travel. More young people than ever are deciding against getting a driver's license and interest in ownership of vehicles by that group is at an all-time low. It is said that the last person to receive a driver's license has already been born.
SUMMARY
In a World of Self-Driving Cars, Motorcyclists Fight for Survival.
Motorcycles are outlawed. Gasoline is $20 per gallon. Self-driving cars are taking over. Silicon Valley and the United States Government have collaborated to push society toward a fully-autonomous transportation system. Motorcycles and riders are an easy first target in the drive to ban human-operated vehicles. Impossible, you say? Not so fast. Fundraising now on IndieGogo.
The Last Motorcycle on Earth is a dramatic series about a vintage motorcycle collector and bike builder, Conrad Mendel, as he grapples with a new world of technology that threatens to destroy his passion and way of life.

Run Time: 5:00
Producer: Paul d'Orleans / TheVintagent.com
Director: Dos Caminos Productions and 27 Transmissions
Music, Original Score: Rocco Deluca, "Friend to the Lonely"
FILM MAKERS
Dos Caminos Productions began in the summer of 2015 with its inaugural film, “Sugar & Spade”. This passion project about two life-long friends was the catalyst that brought Director/Producer-Mark MacInnis, Producer-James Ken Blackmon, and Producer-Wil Thomas III together. These three friends saw the story of a 50-year friendship between Austin 'Sugar' Johnson and 'Spade George' as the perfect opportunity to utilize their diverse collective talents. With their trajectory set towards shedding light on issues of “social responsibility” and “civil progress”, these three creatives are positioned to move forward and make an impact. As Dos Caminos Productions continues into other projects, they plan on keeping the spirit in which they were formed alive.
SUMMARY
"This film has taken me places that I've never even dreamt of," Austin 'Sugar' Johnson
What happens after you make a movie? There's no telling! Interest in the film 'Sugar & Spade' took the film's stars and crew all the way to Morocco for a screening, and The Vintagent sponsored their trip, just to see two old African-American chopper buddies in actual Africa! This mesmerizing short film is made by the same crew - Dos Caminos Productions and 27 Transmissions - that made the original Sugar & Spade film, and Rocco DeLuca once again provided a beautiful score, "Friend to the Lonely". This film is as simple as can be, but you can feel the depth of emotion in the narrative by Austin 'Sugar' Johnson and 'Spade George', and Rocco's music.

Not to be one of these who just customize their motorcycles with a tank, paint and different parts…
About the video: Here is my short time lapse for the one minute moto fest. The sketch is based on the Christian Newman’s Black Knucklehead chopper (because I fuckin' love choppers). I used designer techniques to make the sketch with good proportions and measures. But the medium I used is more artistic, as pencil ink, china ink, pastels, pigments, rough, and Posca… I spent 3 hours to make the sketch, and the video editing was complicated because the video must do 1 Minute ahahah.

KID SPEED (1924)
Run Time: 18:00
Producer: Larry Semon
Director: Larry Semon
Key Cast: Larry Semon
FILM MAKERS
Larry Semon was a talented actor/director/stunt man, who’s nearly forgotten these days, but in the 1920s he was a very successful and wealthy film producer. He directed the first, silent version of the ‘Wizard of Oz’ in 1925 (in which he played the Scarecrow), and worked with both Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy, before they created their immortal comedy team.
SUMMARY
Semon directed and acted in the short ‘two reel’ film ‘Kid Speed’, about two auto racers (Semon and Hardy) competing for the same girl (‘Lou duPoise’, a reference to the duPont family). Semon was known for his elaborate/expensive sets, sometimes building fully functional houses for a film, as well as huge gags – in the case of ‘Kid Speed’, an entire mountainside slumps onto a road for comic effect. If you want to skip the slapstick and see the cool old racers, jump to the 14-minute mark.
‘Kid Speed’ is a two-reel film, shortened to 18 minutes; this may be the result of deterioration of the original, highly volatile nitrocellulose film stock. Semon died in 1928 of tuberculosis, and many of his films languished in private collections before being rescued and transferred to more stable ‘Safety Film’ stock – cellulose acetate, which is much less flammable. Note the words ‘Safety Film’ on your old 35mm Kodak negatives; previously they would have had ‘Nitrate’ in dark letters printed. Nitrocellulose is explosive, derived from ‘guncotton’ and related to smokeless gun powder, and was the foundation of the DuPont chemical fortune.

SOUND EDITOR / SOUND MIXER: Sam Gain-Emery

CAST: Christophe Barriere-Varju
FILM MAKERS
Dream Racer was Simon Lee’s very first feature length film. Not typically known for his film work, Simon has had a very successful and award winning career in advertising, holding roles like Creative Director for various agencies prior to him joining The Hallway as Executive Creative Director and Partner. A bit of an adrenaline junky, Simon took on the audacious task of partaking in and filming what is commonly known as the most dangerous race in the world, the 9,237 kilometer Dakar Rally. Consequently, Simon now modestly boasts a cabinet of international awards spanning entertainment, media, PR, advertising and branded content.
SUMMARY
Dream Racer is an inspiring account of the fear of life going by unfulfilled and the pursuit of dreams as the antidote to this fear.
The film tells the extraordinary true story of French Australian Business Consultant Christophe Barriere-Varju who defies extreme physical hardship and personal tragedy as he attempts to take on the world’s most dangerous motor race, the Dakar Rally, on a motorbike.
Simon Lee followed him on his incredible roller coaster journey – from the struggle to find funds to take part and his preparations in the sand dunes of eastern Australia to 10,000 thrilling kilometers across some of the harshest terrains of South America.
The Dream Racer film shows The Dakar Rally in its purest form – no sponsors, no multi-million dollar team, not even a mechanic – just one man, a motorbike, his tool-roll, and the world’s most dangerous motor race.
