April 13-18, 2012 - Clinton Street Theater - Portland, Oregon
We are setting out on a grand adventure to see the United States of America and spread the gospel of bike movies. Well, really we’re just headed to a few cities, but undoubtedly we’ll be bringing Filmed by Bike DVDs and spreading information about out 10th Anniversary Call for Submissions. If you live in one of those fine cities and want to say hello or deliver your movie to us in person, please drop us a line.
Bike racing is taking over the silver screen! In celebration of our 10th Anniversary, we are assembling a special program of bike racing movies. Oregon has a strong bike racing culture, and for one night only the theater
will be packed with Lycra as we pay homage to the blood, sweat and gears.
We want your movies! Submission details >>
To get you in the spirit of things, let’s revisit an award-winning movie from Filmed by Bike 2011, Burk Webb’s profile of the party wild Halloween Cross Crusade race. Cross season is NOW, so don’t delay, grab your camera and head to the races. We can’t wait to see what you’ve got.
This week is your last chance to fill out the Filmed by Bike 10th Anniversary survey and have a shot at winning a DVD set (2008-2011 and the Greatest Hits v1 DVD).
As we look ahead to our 10th anniversary celebration, and look back on what we’ve been doing over the years, we’re excited. We’re honored. We’re ready to party! We want to know what you think. How should we go big?
Please take a brief moment to complete this survey by Sunday night. On Monday, one lucky winner will be randomly selected.
Calling all bike movies! It’s the 10th Anniversary of Filmed by Bike and our jury is eager to review a stellar collection of bike movies.
Long before the bike was considered an occasional fashion accessory, we’ve been rocking the silver screen with an impressive array of bike-themed films from creative filmmakers around the world.
We got our start with our first screening at the now-defunct micro-theater La Palabra. We had a goal of 40 attendees and were astounded when over 80 people showed up, many buying tickets knowing they wouldn’t even be able to see the screen. The bike-powered smoothie maker pedaled away on the front patio and a new movement was born.
Bike movies are here to stay. Send in yours today.
We would like to welcome the newest addition to our team, Alex Atkins. Alex is a filmmaker living here in Portland who graduated from Conservatory of Film at SUNY Purchase College in New York. Two of Alex’s recent films, Unearthed and Sabina have enjoyed festival exhibition and awards in the United States and abroad.
One of Alex’s big projects is a super secret film contest that nearly everyone with a still camera, film camera or computer can enter. We’re all excited to tell you more about that very, very soon. Alex is also tasked with helping us Go Big for our 10th Anniversary, so send him your movie suggestions, tips and ideas for entertainers and collaborations at Alex@FilmedByBike.org.
In addition to being the Fall Promotions intern with Filmed by Bike, Alex is currently working on several short and long term productions.
We’re celebrating our 10th anniversary and we want to go big. Be the person to help make that happen.
Our Fall Promotions Intern will make our festival awesome with a heavy dose of magic and plenty of exciting projects. Join our team to help make our 10th Anniversary festival the very best it can be.
Deadline for applications is September 5, 2011.
It’s summertime and we’re feeling frisky, so we lowered the cost of our DVDs and magically transformed our 3-Pack into a 4-Pack at the same price. Now is a great time to buy DVDs from Filmed by Bike. Project them on the side of a building, crack open some brewskies and it’s a party.
Every year we assemble a DVD featuring some of our festival favorites jam-packed onto a DVD to commemorate the festival for all eternity. Our 2011 DVD cover art features the custom bike part typography created by Drew Marshall.
We offer Re-Screening rights if you’d like to use Filmed by Bike as a group screening or fundraiser.
The 9th Annual Filmed by Bike has come to a close. Thank you to everyone who joined us at the Clinton Street Theater to watch an excellent selection of bike movies all weekend long.
Over 70 volunteers put in their time to help make the festival possible! Please give them a round of applause.
We’d also like to thank the people who took on advanced roles this year. Brad Nelson is our Operations Manager. Meghan Sinnott is our Raffle Coordinator and Filmmaker Q+A Coordinator. Doug Young was our programming intern. Brittany Reading was our logistics assistant. Teague Douglas ran the box office. Gregg Lavender and Chad Smoot were volunteer coordinators on the opening night.
