Film Submissions Wanted
Join us on Friday, May 6 at the Tower Theater for the 3rd Annual BBFF!
Submission deadline is April 24th, we will gladly take submissions prior. Last year we had too many submissions and could not show them all, get in quick. If you are ‘thinking’ of submitting a movie, let us know.
As in previous years, submissions must be somehow bike related and have a local connection with central Oregon. This can be by content, editing, actors, characters, location, whatever. Use your imagination, it just has to have a local connection. We encourage creativity with your movie. Riding, educational, funny, serious, musical, action, plain old stupid, we will look at them all.
Please try to keep movies to a length of between 30 seconds to 7 or 8 minutes. See full Submission Guidelines.
This is a fund raiser for COTA, Central Oregon Trail Alliance and the Bend Endurance Academy. Proceeds will directly Benefit these two local non profits.
For information or to submit a movie email us at: bendbicycleff@yahoo.com
We look forward to another great event to kick start the cycling season!
Directors,

We had about 130 people at the 4 pm show and a sold-out show at 7 pm.
We raised a really nice amount of money for COTA and the Bend Endurance Academy (numbers to come soon!) and it was summed up nicely by one fan who said, “This is what biking in Bend is all about — good friends, a cool atmosphere and a really fun party!”
Thanks to all the filmmakers who submitted films!
For many reasons, we do not sell copies of the festival in part or as a whole. All filmmakers retain the rights to their submissions and some choose to share the content online while others do not.
Check the Films and Presentations page for links to online videos and credits for 2010′s submissions.
Will Churchill won the BMX bike from Bend Cyclery at the 4pm show!
The house was packed with 470 people for the 7 pm show.
