Organizers of the 2009 Bicycle Film Festival are imploring filmmakers and other bicycling fans to “Make a Bike Movie.”
Coming up on its ninth year, the show is extending its entry deadline to March 7. In the past, the festival has shown everything from under-10 minute shorts shot with a hand-held to slicker-looking, feature length documentaries.

According to its Bicycle Film Festival website:
“The Bicycle Film Festival is a celebration of bicycles through film, art and music. Look over past programs and watch the trailers below to see what we have screened.
“Notice that films shorter than 10 minutes are easier to program for the shorts programs. We will screen a really good movie no matter how long it is.”
The festival has traveled around the world in the past, making stops in New York, London, Milan, Tokyo and Portland, among other centers of cycling.
To enter, go to the festival website and download an entry form.
