Bike Short Flims Winter 2010 Recap

A room full of messengers, cycling advocates, commuters and fans turned up for this past weekend’s Bike Short Films at Public Assembly. Out of the 17 films, there was a good mix of stuff from the stupid to the serious. It was fun to see the messengers go all silent when a Streetfilm went up and the advocates do the same for the trick videos but all in all there was a love of bicycles and mutual respect in the room. Hats off to the organizers for bringing everyone together. Scroll down for even more video love.

The winner: Shut Your Mouth – Fake Money feat. G. Nasty

Bike Films – Cruiser and Fixed Gear Hit City Streets

I usually try not to fall for branded videos, but this promo for Hutchinson Tires is a cinematic beauty which contrasts a cruiser and fixed gear on the streets of New York City. It’s beautiful and I fell hard.

Directed by Daniel Leeb of Cinecycle Productions.
This short film features Alfred Bobe Jr. and Fatimah Durkee. The film spins a visual ballad between the two cyclists experiencing the city in their own unique ways. Both cyclists are city dwellers who amidst the chaos of the concrete jungle have created a private and peaceful psychological space as they traverse the streets. They are both alone and yet they are both very much aware of each others presence. The film speaks to the harmony with one’s environment that can be found while riding a bicycle in a city and the synchronistic connection we can have with those we have not even met. The short was commissioned by Hutchinson tires.

And speaking of bike films, Bike Short Films is having a call for submissions. Pull out that camera and go film something together.
