Lights, Cameras, Bikes! We're calling for submissions to The Big Bike Film Night 2026.
This global short bike-themed film festival is going full tilt towards 2026 and raising the curtains on our 12th year.
What’s The Big Bike Film Night all about? Our mission is to bring the best SHORT cycling films from around the world together for our audiences.
IF YOUR FILM DOES NOT HAVE RELEVANCE TO CYCLING - PLEASE DO NOT SUBMIT IT! Only bike-related (mainly DOCUMENTARY) films under 35 minutes will be considered. Please read the categories of films we are looking for carefully to ensure your film fits our criteria.
Showcasing a collection of short movies that have everything a cycle-centric audience could want- action, drama, humour, and plenty of inspiration. Our film festival captures the fun, adventure, and the inspiration that riding enables whatever we ride.
We look for films that go beyond two-wheels and aspire to show films with universal themes - adversity, challenge, determination, passion, courage. etc. with the bicycle the humble conduit.
The films selected are a great reminder of why we love to ride our bike; with stories that captivate us, stories that move us, and most importantly of all- that inspire us to get out and ride.
Make it. Submit it. Get Selected!
