The Big Bike Film Night is on a mission – bringing the best short cycling films from around the world together for you.

Showcasing 2.5 hours of riveting bike films that have everything a cycle-centric audience could want – action, drama, humour, and plenty of inspiration. The evening is unashamedly and utterly, utterly, utterly designed and devised to delight the two-wheel devotee!

The 2025 treasure chest of films includes:

• an exhilarating film that redefines what’s possible on a gravel bike on technically challenging terrains

• a celebration of grit, camaraderie, and the beauty of “Type 2 Fun”, this film is an ode to the ride, not the finish line

• a captivating film that promises to take you on a journey of compassion, community, and the joy of cycling

• an uplifting film that follows a group of adventurers from Wanaka, New Zealand, who gather to cycle from town out to the local Ski Field and back, carrying all their gear, with the purpose to raise awareness about the climate impact that comes with travelling and adventuring

• an inspiring mountain bike ride through back country Queenstown, New Zealand that is both poetic and meaningful

• a life-changing experience for a group of friends who undertake a trip to a bothie (hut) in the Highlands of Scotland to show what can be achieved by people with disabilities in relation to having adventures

• a film that celebrates the art of “winging it” and how travelling by bicycle and the power of exploration can obliterate preconceptions and contribute to understanding others

• and a classic Kiwi story of a young trail blazer participating in a gruelling six-day mountain bike rally, exploring his boundaries with his own signature entirely unsupported style – fueled by a penchant for chocolate milk and a single-minded approach to making it happen

ALL in the mix!

These short films are a great reminder of why we love to ride our bike; with stories that captivate us, stories that move us, and most importantly of all – inspiring us to get out and ride. All celebrate the fun, adventure, and joy that cycling enables.

So…listen to the voice inside you; it’s telling you to go. Grab your mates, GO ON… grab your bike and come along for the ride!!

Each of Barefoot Cinema’s locations offer a fun and relaxed atmosphere and feature much more than just a movie with live music, lawn games, food trucks, a candy bar, local wines, and craft beers. Breathtaking bay views, historic buildings and beautiful sunsets set the scene at Point Nepean, Portsea. A little further up the Pen at The Briars, Mount Martha, you’ll be greeted by stunning views across the rolling hills and a festival-like atmosphere. 

Possibly the most romantic venue is that of Rippon Lea Estate, Elsternwick, where you’ll be watching great films alongside the majestic Mansion and surrounded by its truly magical gardens.
