Bike Fest '06 is a weekend of Bike Theme films July 14, 2006

Bike Fest '06 is a weekend of Bike Theme films offered by DIVA as a participant in Eugene's month-long promotion of alternative transportation options (walking, biking, and public transit). Three films will be screened:

"Roam" is a mountain bike film that depicts the travels of some of the world's top riders. It is an exciting visual experience of mountain biking as seen from the air, on bike, and from the ground. Screened on Saturday July 15 at 7:00 PM and Sunday at 3:00 PM

"16,000 feet on a Friday", by Galfromdownunder (Lynette Chiang), shares with the viewer a 500-mile, 12-day expedition over the 16,000 foot Ticlo mountain pass in Peru to reach Satipo, a remote, inland jungle town. Her journey was made with six-time Race Across America legend Lon Haldeman on a Eugene-made Bike Friday travel bicycle. Screened on Saturday July 15 at 8:30 PM and on July 16 Sunday 4:30 PM

Bike Fest '06 will be re-screening selected shorts from Portland's Fourth Annual 'Filmed by Bike 2006 IV". This is a collection of bicycle-theme films made by both professional and amateur filmmakers and bike activists from around the world. This is an edgy program of hilarious and sometimes harrowing films that explore the world of biking. This festival program is a Portland favorite. Screened on Saturday, July 15 at 10:00 PM and Sunday, July 16 at 6:00 PM.
