The Big Bike Film Night (PG)
Fri 20 Oct 2023 @ 7:00 pm - 9:30 pm
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!
