GO MEANS GO will be producing the Bicycle Film Festival in Seattle again this year! 2010 marks the 10th year of the festival, and it’s second visit to Seattle.

We are putting together a team to get the word out as well as help during the festival. Please email Ryan if you would like to volunteer, or if your company would like to be a part of this amazing event that combines independent film, art, music and bicycles.  The Bicycle Film Festival has something for everyone!  It’s about fun, and getting involved with your community!

Taken from the Bicycle Film Festival website:

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 ninth year the festival is held in 39 cities worldwide. 250,000 people are expected to attend this year.

The Bicycle Film Festival celebrates the bicycle in all forms and styles. If you can name it - Tall Bike Jousting, Track Bikes, BMX, Alleycats, Critical Mass, Bike Polo, Road Cycling, Mountain Biking 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 to advocate its ability to transport us in various ways. Ultimately the BFF is about having a good time. We have been fortunate enough to include the work of established artists such as Jorgen Leth, Mike Mills, Jonas Mekas, Blonde Redhead, Swoon and Michel Gondry; as well as talented newcomers as part of our programming. Many of the artists who have participated in the Bicycle Film Festival, such as the Neistat Brothers and Lucas Brunelle, are gaining more and more recognition for their work.

Sign up for the email list or just come out and enjoy our 9th Annual Bicycle Film Festival. Thanks.

Brendt Barbur

Founding Director

P.S. bikes rule!
