Beer, Film, Folly and Fun in One Tasty, Traveling Event July 2nd at Theis Park, Kansas City
Partnership between New Belgium Brewing and the Missouri Bicycle & Pedestrian Federation
New Belgium Brewing, maker of Fat Tire Amber Ale, has rounded up the winning Clips of Faith film submissions and they’re taking the show on the road, coming to Kansas City on July 2! This first-year festival will bring people together for a summer outdoor screening of collected amateur short films accompanied by some of New Belgium’s most esoteric beer offerings.
The Clips of Faith Beer & Film Tour (www.clipsoffaith.com) will screen in fourteen cities throughout the summer and fall of 2010.
Each stop along the tour will feature a free outdoor screening of the collected films, a full tasting of New Belgium’s Lips of Faith beers
(http://www.newbelgium.com/beer) and food from local vendors. In Kansas City, all profits from beer and merchandise sales will benefit the Missouri Bicycle & Pedestrian Federation (http://mobikefed.org/). Recycling at the event will be handled by Keep Kansas City Beautiful and Community Recycling Centers, which are two Bridging the Gap programs (www.bridgingthegap.org).
“This tour combines our great passions – folly and beer,” said Meredith Giske, New Belgium Brewing event director. “These short films will do a great job setting the stage for the beers we will be serving from our Lips of Faith portfolio, which features some of our most creative and hard-to-find brews.”
Entries range from kayaking buddies navigating grizzlies and whales on a paddling trip from Alaska to Seattle, to an absurdist spaghetti western about a flat tire (and some beer). There are visual odes to people’s love affairs with their bikes, assorted comedy shorts, and thought-provoking environmental pieces.
“Craft beer, sustainability and whimsy – all caught on film,” added Giske.
“Add in some tasty Lips of Faith beer, and you experience New Belgium’s style of show business.”
