The Big Bike Film Night 2023
Tuesday 22 August 2023 from 7pm to 9:30pm
Let the good times roll Sydney – The Big Bike Film Night is riding into town!
We're on a mission – bringing the best cycling short films from around the world together for you.
Showcasing 2.5 hours of moving bike films that has everything a cycle-centric audience could want – action, drama, humour, and plenty of inspiration; the evening is unashamedly and utterly, utterly, utterly designed and devised for the two-wheel devotee!
Check out our 2023 promo trailer
The 2023 treasure chest of films includes:
a delightful young Australian bikepacker's learnings from her scenic trip to Hell
a visually commanding film set in postcard Tuscany following a 74-year old rider who personifies the spirit of cycling
a team who have spent five years formulating a dream… and only one way to get it – via packraft and mountain bike, on a pursuit of the first descent on the gnarly lines of Dillon Cone in the rugged coastal Kaikoura ranges of New Zealand
two Brisbane schools sharing their insights into how they promote active transport within their school community
the tale of a rider with a searing thirst for adventure, exploring Iceland’s spectacular interior
putting the ‘mountain’ into mountain biking – a Scottish Highlands rider's eyes are opened to the healing power of the bicycle
an uplifting film that celebrates a humble volunteer whose community spirit is inspiring as are the majestic winter views of the trail where he lives
a moving movie that follows a family that chooses to live life to the fullest in the face of adversity
and rounding out the night, find out what happens when you combine an ultra-distance 320 km gravel race and parenting together over a 24-hour period (which is tougher?)
All in the mix!
These short films are a great reminder of why we love to ride our bike; with stories that captivate us, stories that make us think, and most importantly of all – inspiring us to get out and ride. All celebrate the fun, adventure, and joy that cycling enables.
So, listen to the voice inside you; it’s telling you to go. Grab your mates, grab your tickets, go on… grab your bike and come along for the ride!
