The bicycle is really a rather cinematic object. Even when it isn’t flying in front of the moon with an alien dressed like a ghost sitting in the basket. From De Sica’s The Bicycle Thief to the animated adventure Triplets of Bellville, the bicycle has played a prominent role in moving characters around onscreen. In celebration of this century-and-a-quarter-old carbon-neutral healthy-living way-more-popular-in-China mode of transport, The Bicycle Film Festival is now open for entries from bone shaker cineastes around the globe.
