VELOBerlin Film Award 2013
Organisers of VELOBerlin and interfilm Berlin joined forces in autumn 2012 to initiate the first international VELOBerlin Film Award. During the entry submission phase from November to January more than 300 short films were entered from over 60 countries and all continents – an overwhelming response!
In light of the growing popularity of the global bicycle movement, we seized the opportunity to create an international online bike film competition for the best short films that address the theme “Cycling and the City“. We sought witty, artful and entertaining entries that shed a new light on both the cycling phenomenon and urban perspectives. The winners of the Film Award will be rewarded with valuable prizes provided by the independent newspaper tageszeitung, Ortlieb manufacturers of outdoor equipment and MIKILI – Bicycle Furniture.
The six members of the viewing committee from interfilm Berlin decided on 20 of the international entries, all of which will be presented at VELOBerlin 2013. The winners will be announced at the award ceremony to be held on 24 March 2013 at 1pm. The jury selected films according to their relation to the topic of cycling and / or cycling culture and were delighted by the number of interesting and creative, new and thrilling cinematic approaches to the theme. Additional criteria for consideration included production quality, story and character development as well as audio and visual realization. Submitted films came predominantly from Europe and North America, but also from the Middle East, Africa, Southeast Asia, South America and Australia – revealing the entire scope of the cycling cosmos: Innovative product development, curious bike stores, fantastic cycling initiatives, the flourishing BMX and Fixie scenes, sport in all variations, travelling families and urban asphalt heroes and heroines, animated, personified and love struck bikes. And at the heart of every film, the extraordinary relationship between bicycles and people.
