International Bike Culture at 12th Annual Filmed by Bike

In 2003, Portland’s bicycle culture was really taking off. The creativity, grassroots spirit and wild enthusiasm was undeniable so it’s no surprise a film festival – Filmed by Bike – was in the mix of endeavors that rose out of this formative era. Year after year a primarily Portland-based pool of filmmakers submitted films to the festival, which this year runs April 19-22 at the Clinton St. Theater.

12 years later, all eyes are on Portland as areas around the globe – like Japan – look for sustainability inspiration, and bikes are certainly part of that equation.
