Call for Entries - 5th Annual Boston Bike Film Festival

Organizers of the Fifth Annual Boston Bike Film Festival have asked filmmakers with a cycling habit to submit their work to be shown October 23-24, 2009, at the historic Brattle Theatre in Cambridge. Film submissions are due September 19, 2009. The event is a fundraiser for local cycling advocacy groups, including MassBike. Film concepts from last year's festival ranged from an exciting chase on bikes with a twist of an ending, to the ultimate speed machine, to the story of a young woman's coming of age. Among the benefits available to acclaimed and amateur filmmakers, the Festival continues to offer a chance to get their films in front of audiences who are intrigued and influential to the quality of cycling nationwide. "We keep tweaking it every year, and last year, we even lowered our ticket prices, based on audience polls," said Cat Bryant, director of the BBFF. "I think we have found our niche; the Boston bike community has shown so much enthusiasm for this event." Types of films shown at the BBFF include animated shorts, digitally enhanced clips, and feature length documentaries. Festival information and details for submissions can be found at www.bostonbikefilmfest.org, which will soon include clips from last year's festival.
