Problem seems that it is at a busy time of the year, the Celluloid Cycles event was in May sometime, I think, when we weren't all so busy doing other bike things. There is track racing on the same week as these films.
What happened to Celluloid Cycles anyway, they had their fourth year last year, but I didn't hear of them this year. They used to put on a good show.
