******************************************************
We had a wonderful 20th Anniversary celebration last year - Big THANK YOU to all of our supporters and filmmakers for AN AMAZING 20 YEARS!
Filmed by Bike is a film festival based in Portland, Oregon that features the world's best bike movies! Screening annually at the historic Hollywood Theatre over a single weekend every May, we curate an inspiring collection of films from all over the world. After our main event, the selected films then go on tour to over 40+ cities worldwide.
Over the course of a busy weekend, we host filmmaker events, bike rides, after parties and three days of film programs at The Hollywood Theatre. Filmmakers from around the world flock to Portland for this spirited event, an opportunity to meet other filmmakers, share filmmaking and riding tips and explore Portland by bike with local bike enthusiasts.
Film submissions come from independent filmmakers worldwide. Submissions are accepted year round always with the deadline of January 20th for the following yearβs program. Hundreds of international entries are submitted every year, and the very best (around 60) are featured in our programs. A panel of esteemed jurors (bicycle and film enthusiasts) makes that tough decision. We accept Jury nominations every fall.
Filmed by Bike movies are now seen all over the world and our screenings regularly sell out. We are so proud to be a part of this global bike community and movement.
