It’s on again!

The 2019 Brisbane Bicycle Short Film Festival is fast approaching.

This year, it’s on Friday 29th March at the Schonell Theatre (UQ) St Lucia, Brisbane.

This Bike Festival is a great night out and Space for Cycling Brisbane does a great job of putting this festival together.

It’s not surprising that tickets sell out quickly.

To start the night you can join the Style not Speed social ride to get there. On arrival, there is usually some bicycle-themed entertainment and a chance to mingle and chat about all things bikey.

The festival is divided into two parts.

The first half showcases the finalists of the Brisbane Bike Bite entrants. These are local short films of no more than 5 mins and are often the most popular part of the night.

Last year, Bella and I entered our film Leki, which ended up winning the Brisbane Bike Bites People’s Choice Award 2018.

Watch our winning film Leki here.

Best of luck to the locals entering the 2019 Brisbane Bike Bites competition!

After intermission, the second half of the festival is a screening of an international bicycle advocacy feature film.

This year it is The Bikes of Wrath.

This film’s synopsis is 2600 kilometers, 420 dollars, 30 days, 5 bikes, 3 cameras, 2 guitars, 1 voice, and one of the most influential novels of the 20th century – The Bikes of Wrath is a story of adventure, physical struggle, human connection, cultural commentary and the American Dream.

Looks super interesting!

So, if you have not done so already – get your tickets!

And see you there on the night!
