Five countries, six films, 23 screenings

The European Outdoor Film Tour presents some of the best outdoor sports and adventure films of the year to a large audience at its screenings. Bicycle films are also occasionally included in the program, but their potential is significantly greater. It is therefore hardly surprising that the two-wheeler scene now has its own film tour in the form of the Bike Film Tour. In addition to 19 film evenings in Germany, there will also be one in Austria, one in Switzerland, one in Belgium and one in the Netherlands.

The film tour will kick off in Munich on March 13, 2025, but this premiere in the old congress hall is already sold out, as is the ninth of the 19 screenings in Germany. The tour stop in Austria is on March 27 at the Gartenbaukino in Vienna. The Swiss screening will follow two weeks later at the Volkshaus Zurich.

Dates and tickets

Varied film offerings

• Transcontinental Race: The 33-minute film accompanies Jana Kesenheimer and Joschka Völkel on the Transcontinental Race 2024, a 4000-kilometre race from Roubaix to Istanbul in which the participants have to manage without outside support. The experienced Kesenheimer is aiming for the podium, while Völkel is making his debut.
• This is my Moment: Biniam Girmay is the first black winner of the green jersey at the Tour de France. "This is my Moment" follows him from his beginnings in Eritrea to his breakthrough in European professional cycling. The film shows his journey through training camps, his first successes and the moment when he signs his first professional contract and wins a Grand Tour stage.
• Building the Buffalo: The short documentary tells the story of the robust Buffalo Bicycle from World Bicycle Relief. Engineers and test riders optimize it for tough conditions to improve mobility and quality of life in the Global South. The Buffalo Bicycles make it easier for people in structurally weak regions to get to school and work or improve the transportation of goods and healthcare.
• Upcycling: Mountain bike pro Harald Philipp is no longer looking for extremes, but for a home. He finds it in the Italian Maritime Alps. There he reactivates forgotten and overgrown trails or redesigns them, discovers challenges with the e-mountain bike and gains local recognition.
• "How to Make a Sick Edit" is the perfect guide for mountain bikers and budding filmmakers. The short film provides tips on image aesthetics, choice of theme and music in a creative and practical way.
• "Anytime - Swiss Segment" shows pure freeride action in the Bike Kingdom Park Lenzerheide. Lucy von Eesteren, Vinny Armstrong, Harriet Burbidge-Smith and Patricia Druwen test the five downhill trails in Bikepark Lenzerheide - with skills, thrills and chills.
