Brochure Extract
"Welcome to the Glasgow International Bike Film Festival. This nine day festival aims to capture the essence of all aspects of cycling and how it is being expressed through the work of some of the finest directors, cinematographers and riders working in the genre today. From the thrills and spills of downhill racing in Hypnosis through the ground breaking Collective and Stripped to the jaw dropping riding in Manifesto, there is something there for everyone to enjoy. Even if you aren't a cyclist, take a look and enter a whole new world which challenges your perceptions of what cycling is today."

 

The night i will definately be going to -

Tuesday 10th October
The Collective and Roam
Running time : Approx 85 minutes
Following the sell out success of Roam at the GFT in May, from Director Darcy Wittenberg comes another opportunity to see two films which have redefined the bike film genre. Gone are the low rent camera work and thrash metal soundtracks of old to be replaced with stunning cinematography, multiple camera sequences, a mood capturing soundtrack and a cohesive narrative style. Both films represent the collaborative efforts of some of the world's best mountain bike riders and are an expression of their words, ideas and most importantly, their riding. It's easy to see why these multiple award winning films have garnered both critical and commercial success and why they have set the standard for all films to follow.
