Bicycle Film Festival Portland presents two international short film programs that appeal to film connoisseurs, avid cyclists, and everyone in between. Curated documentaries, narratives, animations, award-winning directors, and emerging talents all share equal billing. 

PROGRAM 1: Cinematic Shorts

A collection of short films that explore the bicycle as a symbolic tool of freedom. Experience worldwide cycling culture through China’s bustling markets, youth on the streets of Lisbon, inclusion in Portland, bikepacking Kyrgyzstan’s remote mountains, South African community, and the resilience of the Gaza Sunbirds.

PROGRAM 2: Urban Bike Shorts

A beloved BFF tradition made by cyclists for cyclists. These films celebrate the spirit of street, youth, commuter, fixed gear, BMX, and messenger cultures around the world.
