The Bicycle Film Festival kicked off today in London after stops in NY, LA, Paris, Chicago, Toronto, Portland, Minneapolis, San Francisco and Vienna. It's on till the 21st and screening some great films including 'Klunkerz' and Santa Cruz bikes 'I Just Work Here'.
Festvial Director Brendt Barbur says...:
"The Bicycle Film Festival celebrates the bicycle. We are into all styles of bikes and biking. If you can name it-Tall Bike Jousting, Track Bikes, BMX, Alleycats, Critical Mass, Bike Polo, Cycling to Recumbents- we've probably either ridden or screened it. What better way to celebrate these lifestyles than through art, film, music and performance? We bring together all aspects of bicycling together to advocate its ability to transport us in many ways. Ultimately the Fest is about having a good time.
We have been fortunate enough to include works of established artists such as Jorgen Leth, Mike Mills, Jonas Mekas, Blonde Redhead, Swoon and Michel Gondry among others as part of our programming. Many of the artists who have participated in the Bike Film Fest such as Nick Golebiewski, the Neistat Brothers and Lucas Brunelle are gaining more and more re-cognition for their work. Sign up for the email list or just come out and enjoy our 7th Annual Bicycle Film Festival."
