Bicycle Film Fest
Sept. 11 - 12
Screenings at Henry Museum Auditorium - 4100 15th Ave NE
Bike parking hosted by Cascade
For the first time, Seattle welcomes the Bicycle Film Festival! The Bicycle Film Festival celebrates the bicycle in all forms and styles. If you can name it - Tall Bike Jousting, Track Bikes, BMX, Alleycats, Critical Mass, Bike Polo, Road Cycling, Mountain Biking Recumbents - they've probably either ridden or screened it. What better way to celebrate these lifestyles than through art, film, music and performance?
In 2001, Brendt Barbur was compelled to start the Bicycle Film Festival after being hit by a bus while riding his bike in New York City. Instead of being deterred by this experience, it inspired him to create a festival that celebrates the bicycle through music, art, and film. Now in its ninth year the festival is held in 39 cities worldwide. 250,000 people are expected to attend this year.
