Venue

The venue for both nights of the 2009 Boston Bike Film Festival will be the Brattle Theater in Harvard Square. Festival is from 7-11 p.m. both nights.

Friday Night: We have a short film about a local icon on a trike called, "Louie, by Brian Moore; a film by Bob Nesson about a local artisan who builds bike trailers (and will be auctioning off one of his creations!); a rap video by Robin Moore; a ride through Manhattan by John Allen; a grassroots cycling story in upstate NY by Kevin Ankeny called "Farm Raised"; an overview by Sheryl Lanzel about Bikes Not Bombs; a short piece about cycling Copenhagen by Lauren Hefferon, and a commuting study by Andrew Krulewitz. We also have a film about a group of intrepid cyclists in Alaska called "Fat Bike", by Carl Battreall and our final film of the night is Klunkerz, by Billy Savage, about the start of mountain biking with a group of crazy riders in Marin County.

Saturday Night: Since our rap video from Robin Moore is so popular (and short), we're showing it again Saturday night, along with "Lanes", about bike lanes on Commonwealth Avenue and Mass Avenue, by Matthew Hashiguchi; "Inside Ragbrai" a unique filmmaking experience by Barney Leonard; a film about cycling culture in Boston called "Between the Lanes" by Seamus Donahoe, and "B.I.K.E.", an intense film about underground cycling jousters by Jacob Septimus. Since we're also auctioning off one of Doug Moore's custom built bike trailers, we will try and squeeze in Bob Nesson's film again.
