The Bike Film Tour is coming to Brixen

A selection of short films about the diversity of the bicycle

The Bike Film Tour has its one and only stop at the bike festa in Brixen to celebrate the bicycle in all its forms. Get ready for 120 minutes packed with stories from Japan to Nepal, from BMX to bikepacking, from MTB adventures to road cycling history – AND A SPECIAL GUEST!

We’re incredibly proud that bike festa is bringing the Bike Film Tour to Italy for the very first time. On Thursday, 17 September, from 8 pm we will host the six cycling films from the Bike Film Tour at the Kulturzentrum Astra Brixen. And we will also be welcoming a very special guest on stage…

What’s on the programme?

Six very diverse films, united by one thing: a love of the bicycle and a shared sense of just how much it can move us.

MANDALA follows French mountain bike adventurer Kilian Bron to Nepal. He takes us deep into the glacial and rocky terrain of the 4,000 and 5,000-metre peaks of Dolpo, a remote region near the border with Tibet, where Kilian traces his aesthetic lines through the dust.
Omari Cato is a teacher in Houston, Texas, and one of the best flatland BMX riders in the world. In MR. CATO, it becomes clear just what transformative power the bicycle can hold. As a mental anchor, a liberating therapeutic tool, and a doorway into an extraordinary world.
WIE DER HASE LÄUFT (“That’s how things work”) takes us into the world of Albert Rabaev, a bicycle courier from Düsseldorf. For years he has pulsed through the city in all weathers – occasionally transporting some rather unusual cargo. We won’t spoil anything, but it turns out that pathology departments use bike couriers, too…
OKAWARI, PLEASE! means something like “More of this, please!”. And that’s exactly what Josh and Paul ask for on their bikepacking trip through Japan. The journey turns out to be not just a cultural discovery tour, but a thoroughly indulgent culinary experience.
Spontaneous, wild, unpredictable: in UCX, much remains in the dark – as mysterious as the cycling event itself. Various riders hear word of an event taking place in an old, derelict football stadium. And then, all of a sudden, a crazy lost-places race breaks out…
