ABOUT THE FESTIVAL
Filmed by Bike is a film festival of bike-themed independent short movies from around the world. Submissions are limited to eight minutes and must revolve around the central theme of cycling.
Hundreds of international entries are submitted but only an average of 30 make the final cut. Our jury of esteemed judges makes that tough decision.
The festival is held every April in Portland, Oregon at the Clinton Street Theater. The weekend-long festival kicks off with a rockin street party on opening night. We close off the street, bring in the ruckus and DJs and spend the night reveling in bike culture while amazing bike movies play on the silver screen.
Filmed by Bike plays only in Portland, Oregon but we also sell DVDs featuring some of the favorite movies from the festival. Each year we curate a new compilation and the DVDs are for sale through our website. Limited re-screening rights are available. See the DVD page for more info.
HOW ARE FILMS SELECTED
Entries are evaluated by an esteemed jury of bicycle and film enthusiasts from the Portland-Seattle area. Our jury page details this year’s roster.
WHERE DO THE MOVIES COME FROM
Movie submissions come from independent filmmakers worldwide. Submissions are due every February.
