We know the Filmed by Bike fans who come to Opening Night like to have a good time, so we’ve programed a special collection of festival favorites for this high-energy program. Some of our most raucous and exciting films will play during this program – and some will not be screened again. Get ready for an animated atmosphere. If you prefer your movie screenings quiet and reserved, this one is not for you.
