The International Bicycle Film Festival is on its way to Pittsburgh

The international Bicycle Film Festival is in its ninth year, traveling to more than 30 cities, including New York, London, Paris, Sidney and Tokyo. This year, for the first time, the festival will be coming to Pittsburgh thanks to Urban Velo and BikePGH.

The heart and soul of the film festival are the short films—contributed by filmmakers from around the world, both professional and amateur.  Additionally, two high-profile films highlight this year’s festival.  Made in Queens tells the story of New York City youths from Trinidad who attach 15,000 watt stereo systems to their bicycles.  Where Are You Go documents an incredible bicycle ride across Africa—from Cairo to Cape Town.

The weekend of events is now solidified, and tickets are available online.  The cost of the festival is $8 per night.  All screenings will be held at the Andy Warhol Museum in the North Side.

Buy your tickets now!  This is expected to sell out the 120 seat theater.
