August at Cafe Euro

Hi Folks,
We are open as normal over August, except shut on Bank Holiday, wouldn't it be great if all shops etc were closed on Bank Holidays?
The Coffee van is at the Botanical Gardens For Heartbreak productions - The Secret Garden - from the 10th to the 13th of August. I highly recommend this production set in the wonderful Botanical Gardens of Sheffield - Bring a picnic a few family and friends and make an event of it.

We are at the moment working on a DVD on coffee making, when done there will be some footage on this Blog for you to have a look at.

Lets hope for a great August!!

Cafe Euro is having a little holiday

Hi Folks,
Well after all busy weeks and months we have had over the last year we have decided to take a little holiday so the cafe will be closed from 2pm on Friday 9th July and re-opening again on Thursday the 15th of July at our normal time of 8am.

Our little espresso van will still be hard at work though over that period, serving coffee to all the discerning theatre goers at the Botanical Gardens in Sheffield where Heartbreak productions are performing one of their fantastic Shakespearean extravaganzas. Check out their website for more details.

Why worry? ---- Have a Latte!

Into The Sky

Paragliding - 58 mins

Year Created: 2009

The adventure of 15 hang-gliding fanatics in Namibia. An expedition to beat cross-country world records for distance. The portrait of pilots explaining their passion for hang-gliding. Feelings, emotions ... that go far beyond sport.

Awards
Won 2 awards at the 27th edition of the INTERNATIONAL FREE FLYING FESTIVAL Saint Hilaire-France-September 2009

Cable To The Sky

Skiing - 36 mins

Year Created: 2009

Director: Peter Pilafian

For over 40 years, the Big Red Box at Jackson Hole, Wyoming, carried skiers, hikers, and sightseers up Rendezvous Mountain. But stress fractures in the aging cables caused it to be torn down. Two years later, this state-of-the-art replacement will operate in 120-kph winds with the precision of a giant Swiss watch. Extreme weather conditions challenge a close-knit team of men battling to finish before winter closes in.

Signatures (50)

Skiing - 50 mins

Year Created: 2009

Director: Nick Waggoner

Wow, skiing in Japan looks quite literally out of this world. A most beautiful film with a mesmerising soundtrack and narration. At the heart of this lovely tale of deep powder mystery: the seasons. In Japan there is a cultural connection to the different Signatures of our terrestrial home-- a sense that the rhythm of fall, winter, spring, summer influences the rhythm of the person, their energy, their style, and the lines they choose. Niseko local photographer Yoichi Watanabe explains, "As a photographer, the change in season brings a change of subject. I have to be ahead of this change in nature, like I have to be thinking about flowers before they actually bloom in order to capture what really goes on. I can say the same about the snow as well." This is a the full film.

ShAFF On The Edge 2

7:00pm - Fri 5th Mar - Café Euro, John Street

Ocean's 14

Endurance Rowing - 52 mins

Year Created: 2009

Director: Stuart Kershaw

A test of endurance, tenacity and the uncanny ability to predict the unknown, as the crew of Ocean Rowing boat La Mondial embark on a perilous race across the Atlantic Ocean. Driven only by manpower and racing across five time zones, the 14-strong crew of La Mondial commenced their epic voyage, racing around the clock and chasing a daunting world record set by an elite team of French legionnaires over fifteen years ago

One Crazy Ride

Motorbike Exploration - 87 mins

Year Created: 2009

Director: Gaurav Jani

Producer: Gaurav Jani

Inspirational Indian filmmaker and motorbike fanatic Guarav Jani keeps finding large tracts of his native country that are nigh on un-charted and previously little-explored. Shot without a back-up vehicle or film crew the documentary captures the interactions and experiences of the riders who are trying to chart a route, which according to everyone else does not exist.

Mustang - A Journey Of Transformation

Culture - 29 mins

Year Created: 2009

Director: Will Parinello

Lost in time, the Himalayan kingdom of Mustang is one of the last sanctuaries of authentic Tibetan Buddhist culture. Long isolated by geography and politics, the people struggle to survive, and the centre of their culture - the 15th-century monasteries and the art within - is dangerously close to collapse. Narrated by Richard Gere and featuring the Dalai Lama, the film tells the compelling story of the efforts to rescue this ancient place from the brink of extinction and to help spark a cultural renaissance.

Awards
