The Bicycle Film Festival is coming! Check out their cool new promo:
BFF YouTube PromoWhat’s it all about? The Bicycle Film Festival is a festival that celebrates the bicycle through music, art, and film. Now in year 9, the festival will be celebrated in 39 cities worldwide and attract over 250,000 participants. It’ll be in Denver for the first time from October 28 – November 1, 2009.
Founder and Director Brendt Barbur says: “The Bicycle Film Festival celebrates the bicycle in all forms and styles. If you can name it – Tall Bike Jousting, Track Bikes, BMX, Alleycats, Bike Polo, Road Cycling, Mountain Biking 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 to advocate its ability to transport us in various ways. Ultimately the BFF is about having a good time.”
