February 8, 2022 - The 22nd Annual Bicycle Film Festival is coming to Halifax, virtually, next week! The film festival is running from February 18 – 28. Tickets are available at a sliding scale and a portion of all ticket sales goes to support Halifax Cycling Coalition.

The Bicycle Film Festival Halifax is a celebration of the diversity and strength of the international cycling community. We all cycle for different reasons, and we believe film festivals like this help build an interconnected cycling community. The curated collection of select short films will take you on a journey around the world, covering such topics as:
- A lone cyclist in Vancouver embarks on a 60-day tour at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic with empty streets and ends with a new reality
- The first BMX crew in Nigeria
- Cycle sport as relief from genocide
- A charismatic Ghanaian immigrant in Amsterdam who teaches refugee adult women to ride bikes
- A love letter to the splendor of winter through the eyes of a female bicycle courier in the midst of a Canadian deep-freeze
- And more…
