The Bicycle Film Festival (BFF), founded by Brendt Barbur in 2001, is a global celebration of bicycles and sustainable living through film, art, music, and culture. For over 26 years, BFF has toured more than 100 cities worldwide, reaching over one million people, showcasing films, art, and events that highlight the beauty and importance of cycling. BFF has partnered with art institutions like the Sydney Opera House, the Barbican, the Andy Warhol Museum, and the MCA Chicago, as well as cities like Paris, London, and Mexico City.
BFF features a curated selection of films, including documentaries, narratives, and animations, from both award-winning and emerging directors. Our events also include immersive music performances, art exhibitions by world-renowned artists, and culinary experiences ranging from Michelin-star to street food, all reflecting our commitment to sustainability.
With notable artists like Erykah Badu, Kaws, Spike Jonze, Mike Mills, Ai Weiwei and many more, BFF is an iconic platform for cultural exchange. Our panel discussions bring together experts on issues from sustainability to cycling culture, while our events reach millions of people both online and in person.
