For anyone that's missed the news, the Bicycle Film Festival is coming back to Los Angeles this week with events running from Wednesday until Friday. Anyone familiar with the Festival knows it's about a lot more than just bicycles or films. This year's festival includes a concert featuring rock band Deerhunter on Wednesday, an arts show opening on Thursday and running all weekend and street party on Sunday.
And of course, as the name suggests, there are going to be films. Shorts and full lengths will be featured, and for the first time, after making literally hundreds of films, a Streetsfilm will be part of the festival. And the best part? It's one of ours. That's right, Streetfilms might be based out of New York and has only made a handful of films out here, but when looking over their body of work the Bicycle Film Festival selected the film about our bicycle co-op scene as the one that will be shown to thousands of people around the world.
For a full list of Bicycle film festival events all in one place, read on after the jump. For more details or to order tickets, visit the Bicycle Film Festival website.
