The Big Bike Film Night returns for 2022 and the New Zealand premiere screening is at Taupō's Starlight Cinema on February 16.
Celebrated and described as "a feast of short films devoted to the bicycle and all who ride", The Big Bike Film Night is an annual event that presents an array of international and New Zealand movies specifically selected by locally based curator/film pedlar Brett Cotter.
Brett says the dynamic concept annually brings the best cycling short films from around the world together with a diverse and exciting mixture offered.
"Not many people would be proud to have their event defined as 'weird, wacky and wonderful', however that is one of the best ways of describing this celebration of the humble bicycle," he says.
"Our 2022 collection contains 12 mesmerising films that are as varied and diverse as you could hope for. Each year it is a privilege and an enormous thrill formalising a programme that revolves around bicycles; collectively, these films speak to us about determination, passion, overcoming challenges and at its heart offers quirky, uplifting, adventurous, inspiring stories."
