Bicycle Film Fest 2010 (With Boston Area Handbuilt Bike Show!)

The Bicycle Film Fest is back, and is once again stopping off in Boston.

From here. <-- Click for more info.

23-25 September this year, folks.

Decent weather for the 10th anniversary is expected; get ready for some lovely fall riding to the screenings at the Brattle (2 nights this year), an awesome art show / first-ever Boston Area Handbuilt Bicycle Exhibition at the Fourth Wall Project, a couple of bike-peeps afterparties (Savant Project and somewhere TBA) and a surely awesome alleycat ala Croth.

The films this year are diverse, exciting, funny, tear-jerking, riot-inducing, controversial, and so much more. We caught most of them in NYC and Montreal- there’s plenty of racing, ‘cross, BMX, polo, FGFS, art, and unclassifiable flicks… I can’t wait to see them again. The new Lucas Brunelle / Benny Zenga joint, Line of Sight, is particularly action-packed and offers some deep insight into our very own homegrown alleycat auteur.

Also, we need volunteers. Email me: joshua AT openbicycle DOT com. Do it.

Bicycle Film Fest Wrapup: A Good Time Had By All

WOW! So this weekend was the bicycle film fest. In a word, AWESOME! Great time, great people, great movies. It was a fantastic time, and if you missed it, SHAME ON YOU.

The whole thing kicked off with a sweet party at Underground video/Revolution Cycles in JP. BoldSprints, over 200 PBR’s (mostly tall boys, all free) veggy dogs, food from veggie planet, and a whole lot of fun. Natasha took some great pictures of the event, here is a taste.

Here is some guy betting five bucks that I wont beat Phil (who is a really nice guy) at bold sprints…too bad for phil, and that guy, I ROCKED HIS ASS.

Faster Phil…faster.

The next Friday was the first round of movies at the Somerville theater, in Davis Square. It rained…a lot, but that didn’t stop a huge number of people from showing up to watch some awesome movies.

Saturday was a blast, much nicer, much sunnier, more awesome movies, there was tricks out front, valet bike parking from MassBike, and a whole host of great bike people around all day. I got to see Lucas Brunelle, got to be at the finish line as Peter Bradshaw WHOOPED everyone (he was in like a couple minutes faster than the person in second place) at the fastforward alley cat, and got to see a lot of nice bikes and meet a lot of nice people.

This was followed up by even more fun at Great Scott for the after party, and if that wasn’t enough a sweet brunch/ride on Sunday. Wow…

Like I said this was a really fun event, thanks to Seth, Dorothy, Brent and everyone else who made this a fantastic event. You guys ROCK. Also be sure to check out a lot more of Natasha’s sweet pictures here.

If you missed it this year be sure to check it out next year.
