DENVER (September 2010) – From September 9-11, we invite you to take part in one of the most culturally relevant movements of the past decade – the urban bike movement. We are proud to announce the Bicycle Film Festival’s second year in Denver, and the tenth anniversary of the international Bicycle Film Festival. In tandem with the growth in urban cycling, the BFF has spread all over the world to 40 cities from its roots in New York City into a multi-faceted, international event that travels from Milan to Tokyo, Minneapolis to Sydney. In 2001, Brendt Barbur, Founder and Director, 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 tenth year the festival is held in 37 cities worldwide. Film Screenings in Denver will be held at the Starz Film Center at the Tivoli 900 Auraria Pkwy. Free bicycle valet parking will be provided at the screenings. Tickets will be available for online purchase soon at www.bicyclefilmfestival.com. Film highlights include: Lucas Brunelle Line of Sight (Dir. Benny Zenga & Lucas Brunelle) from the vantage point of his custom helmet-cam Brunelle films unsanctioned street races around the globe. His footage gives us a unique perspective on the best urban riders in the world in their natural element. This film turns the camera back on its subject and showcases this rare talent and “international man of mystery”. Birth of Big Air (Dir. Jeff Tremaine), a documentary on BMX legend Mat Hoffman, produced by Spike Jonze, Priya Swaminathan and Dickhouse Productions. Comments are closed.
