The Bicycle Film Festival rolls into Seattle this Friday and Saturday on its 39-city tour around the world.
More than 30 films can be viewed at the Henry Museum Auditorium on the UW Campus. Most are short releases, although nearly every program features a full-length bicycle film.
An after-party at the Flowers Bar and Restaurant runs from 10 p.m. to 2 a.m.
The first feature film is “Where Are You Go”, the story of two brothers from Canada and their American friend who take on the Tour D'Afrique. At 7,000 miles from Cairo to Cape Town, it's the world's longest bicycle race and expedition. Shown in the trailer above, one rider tells the essence of his experience:
“I feel like that day in Cairo was 10 years ago, and it's only been four months, you know. And in four months back home, nothing changes.”
Other features at the film festival include “The Six Day Bicycle Races”, “Road to Roubaix”, “I Love My Bicycle, the Story of FBM Bikes.”
The festival is split up into two programs on Friday at 7 and 9 p.m., and five on Saturday at 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9 p.m. Tickets for each program at $10 and available from Brown Paper Tickets.
