Bicycle Film Festival Northwest – Virtual – This Weekend! 

Art.  One of the things that makes life worth living.  Oct 23-25, you can binge-watch short bike films celebrating bicycles through art, film and music.  

 

Buy the Festival Pass and watch all at your leisure (hours vary). 

BFF shorts - Film fans and bicycle fans alike will absolutely enjoy this program. Select Shorts include - a charismatic Ghanaian immigrant in Amsterdam who teaches refugee adult women to ride bikes - the lost history of Major Taylor - a father copes with the loss of his son - a lie is exposed on a friendly ride up a mountain - and an exquisite visual expression of Tour Du Rwanda.  

Cinematic Shorts - A diverse curation of filmmaking styles: animation, narrative, romance, documentaries, musically driven, and more. Cannes Film Festival, Toronto International, Vimeo’s Short of the Week pick, and BAFTA award-winning filmmakers share equal billing with emerging directors. Stories ranging from a coming-of-age tale by Lebron James’ production company, to women’s rights in Iran, to a Black Lives Matter protest ride from New York to DC shot entirely on an iPhone. 

 

Urban Bike Shorts - A fun compilation of films, capturing the spirit of the street and youth culture from around the world. An always popular line-up features innovative, energetic, passionate people who are dedicated to moving the bike movement forward in their cities.  These compelling stories are told from those who choose cycling as a lifestyle from a wide range of places including Singapore, Lagos, London, Dallas, New York, Bangalore, and Tampa.  Inspirational and high energy, these films offer us an authentic and raw glimpse into the lives of people like Leo Rodgers who lost a leg and then learned to ride or Nigel Sylvester and his friends who organized the New York Bike Ride for Black Lives. What does it mean to be a female bike messenger in New York City and how did a group of young Nigerians create a thriving BMX scene? Urban bike shorts are a BFF tradition and offer the spark of life and vitality that give momentum to our cause. 

 

You can also purchase the online streaming of these films individually. 


Here’s a sample compilation from 2019.
