This seems much more organized than in years past, which is probably explained by the fact that, though this is the 8th year of BFF, it’s only the third year [1] it’s played in Minneapolis [2].
So what the heck is a Bicycle Film Festival [3], anyway?
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.
Films will screen at eight different venues [4] across Minneapolis, from Pi to First Avenue to the MacPhail Center. There is free valet bicycle parking at each one. You can buy a festival pass or tickets to individual shows [5]. Complete details at bicyclefilmfestival.com [2].
(Biking from venue to venue is also good practice for Fringe [6].)
