Unreserved seated event. For access information please contact the venue directly

The Big Bike Film Night is on a mission- bringing the best cycling short films from around the world together for you.

Showcasing 2.5 hours of moving bike films that has everything a cycle-centric audience could want – action, drama, humour, and plenty of inspiration; the evening is unashamedly and utterly designed and devised for the two-wheel devotee!

The 2023 treasure chest of films includes:

– A delightful young Australian bikepacker’s learnings from her scenic trip to Hell

– A visually commanding film set in postcard Tuscany following a 74-year-old rider who personifies the spirit of cycling

– A team who have spent five years formulating a dream…and only one way to get it – via packraft and mountain bike, on a pursuit of the first descent on the gnarly lines of Dillon Cone in the rugged coastal Kaikoura ranges of New Zealand

– Two Brisbane schools sharing their insights into how they promote active transport within their school community

– The tale of a rider with a searing thirst for adventure, exploring Iceland’s spectacular interior

– Putting the ‘mountain’ into mountain biking – a Scottish Highlands rider’s eyes are opened to the healing power of the bicycle

– An uplifting film that celebrates a humble volunteer whose community spirit is inspiring as are the majestic winter views of the trail where he lives

– A moving movie that follows a family that chooses to live life to the fullest in the face of adversity

– And rounding out the night, find out what happens when you combine an ultra-distance 320 km gravel race and parenting together over a 24-hour period (which is tougher?)

ALL in the mix!

These short films are a great reminder of why we love to ride our bike; with stories that captivate us, stories that make us think, and most importantly of all – inspiring us to get out and ride. All celebrate the fun, adventure, and joy that cycling enables.

So… Listen to the voice inside you; it’s telling you to go. Grab your mates, grab your tickets, GO ON… grab your bike and come along for the ride!

"The BBFN is always a wonderful, eclectic, wacky mix of films and I love it!"
"One of the most inspiring events of the year"
