Event: NYCC Webinar: Conversation of Brendt Barbur, Director of the Bicycle Film Festival

Date: Tuesday, July 14, 2020

Location: Virtually, via Zoom Video Communications

 

Schedule:

7:00 – 8:00 p.m. Program

 

Program: Brendt Barbur is the Founder and Director of the Bicycle Film Festival, now in its 20^th year, with events in nearly 100 cities worldwide and annual attendance in the hundreds of thousands. It has been called “the best film festival you never heard of.”  Brendt also has set to music and created a “making of” film (The Commentator) of Jorgen Leth’s cycling classic A Sunday in Hell, chronicling the 1976 Paris-Rubaix race.  Each year, Barbur sifts through scores of submissions to select the best short films representing a dizzying array of cycling subcultures: professional racing, endurance bikepacking, road cycling, alleycat racing, BMX, commuting and more. Steeped in the diverse world of cycling for decades, Brendt will trace the long arc of bike culture since the 80s, including the breathtaking pandemic-era upsurge in commuter and protest cycling, and give his tips on the best cycling films to watch if the pandemic has you mostly indoors. Join us!

Program will run from 7:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., with time for questions at the end.

As always, non-members of NYCC are welcome. The event will be streamed live over Zoom onto your phone, desktop, or other device.
