Bicycle Film Festival is coming to Madison on October 3 at the Barrymore Theatre.  

Hosted by Madison Bikes.  

Bicycle Film Festival has been celebrating bicycles through art, film and music over the last 24 years. BFF spans the world in over 100 cities worldwide to an audience of over one million people. The festival now returns to Wisconsin.  

BFF Madison presents a new short film program. These stories will appeal to a wide audience from film connoisseurs to avid cyclists and everyone in between. Curated documentaries, narratives, animations, award-winning directors, and emerging talents – all share equal billing. For lovers of gravel, road cycling, mountain biking, and bike packing, and the advocates who are pushing the bike movement forward in their communities. 

This program will take you on a journey around the world featuring:  

  • Kailey Kornhauser and fellow “fat cyclist” Marley Blonsky are on a mission to change the idea that people with larger bodies can’t ride bikes 
  • A family gives up everything to be together in their motorhome, traveling from bike park to bike park across Europe 
  • The 1900 mile bicycle journey by Erick Cedeno (Bicycle Nomad) retracing the original route of the Buffalo Soldiers 
  • A charismatic Ghanaian immigrant in Amsterdam teaches refugee adult women how to ride bikes 
  • Cycle sport as relief from genocide (Oscar nominated director) 
  • A Diné mountain biker hosts the first ever Enduro race in the Navajo Nation 
  • And more… 

This is a fundraiser for Madison Bikes.
