The Big Bike Film Night is on a mission - bringing the best cycling short films from around the world together for you.

Showcasing over 2 ¼ 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!

The 2023 treasure chest of films includes: 

• a delightful young Australian bikepackers learnings from her adventure - completing a scenic trip to Hell; 
• a visually commanding film set in postcard Tuscany following a 74-year old bicicletta rider whose spirit personifies cycling; 
• a team who have spent five years of embarking on a dream…and only one way to get it - via packraft and mountain bike, on a pursuit of a first descent on the gnarly lines of Dillon Cone in the rugged coastal Kaikoura ranges of New Zealand; 
• two schools share their insights into how they promote active transport within their school community; 
• the tale of a rider with a searing thirst for adventure, exploring interior Iceland; 
• 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 and so are the majestic winter views of the trail where he lives in rural heartland Central Otago; 
• 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?); 

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.
