Thank you to everyone who has been a part of BFF over the past 25 years. Let's celebrate! Bikes Rock!

In 2001, Brendt Barbur was hit by a bus while riding his bicycle in New York City. Insisting on turning this negative experience into a positive one, Barbur founded the Bicycle Film Festival (BFF) as a global celebration of bicycles through film, art, music, and culture. 

Since its start, BFF has been hosted in more than 100 cities worldwide, reaching over one million people. BFF has partnered with prestigious art institutions such as the Sydney Opera House, the Barbican, the Andy Warhol Museum, and the MCA Chicago, as well as with cities like Tokyo, Istanbul, Paris, London, New York, and Mexico City. Each year, BFF features a curated selection of films—including documentaries, narratives, and animations—from both award-winning and emerging directors. The festival also hosts immersive music performances, art exhibitions, and culinary experiences. Notable artists such as Erykah Badu, Kaws, Albert Maysles, Neistat Brothers, Karl Lagerfeld, Shepard Fairey, Mike Mills, Paul Smith, Tom Sachs, Ridley Scott, Kiki Smith, Ai Weiwei and Spike Jonze have participated in the BFF.
