Bicycle Film Festival is an international phenomenon Brendt Barbur, Founding Festival Director, was compelled to start the Bicycle Film Festival when he was hit by a bus while riding his bike in New York City. He insisted on turning his negative experience into a positive one.
In 2001 Barbur started the Bicycle Film Festival as a platform to celebrate the bicycle through music, art and, of course, film. The Bicycle Film Festival has been a major catalyst for the bike movement, one of the most powerful and culturally relevant forces of the last decade.
BFF screens films from established artists to emerging filmmakers who have a shared passion for bicycles. We celebrate the bicycle in all its human powered forms. Each year, the programming team selects short and feature length films from around the world. Documentary, live action, narrative, animation, music video, experimental stories – all are welcomed.
