5TH ANNUAL INTERNATIONAL
MOTORCYCLE FILM FESTIVAL
SEPTEMBER 20 - 23, 2017 BROOKLYN, NY

ABOUT

The Motorcycle Film Festival celebrates
THE WORLD’S BEST DRAMATIC, DOCUMENTARY, SHORT, AND EXPERIMENTAL FILMS CREATED BY THE INTERNATIONAL MOTORCYCLING COMMUNITY.

The Motorcycle Film Festival is an idea whose time has come. We are in the midst of the biggest creative boom centered on motorcycles since the 1970’s. Every motorcycle customizer has an in-house filmmaker, and every hip moto-event from Biarritz to Melbourne has built-in paparazzi; we can re-live the antics of fellow bikers on YouTube, or gasp at masterworks from talented videographers, who often unwittingly work side by side. The massive, youthful rise of moto-mania has excited big motorcycle factories to collaborate with rising garage artists, and has inspired professional filmmakers that now is the time to produce that long-dreamt two-wheel feature film.

In just 4 short years, The MFF has become an internationally recognized film festival setting the bar for the best motorcycle films the world has to offer. It is by and for motorcyclists and the love of two wheels.
