Four months on a bicycle between Cairo, Egypt and South Africa en route with the Tour d' Afrique, the world's longest bicycle race and expedition.

BFF Alumni the Zenga Bros. and Brian Vernor share a universal love of the bicycle with Africa's roadside mechanics, sporting racers and curious strangers.

Travelling more than 70 miles per day, 50 racers and expedition riders experienced the boundless Nubian desert of Sudan, the great majesty of Victoria Falls, and finally the cold rush of the Atlantic Ocean. The 7,000 mile expedition is a constant adventure full of playfulness and mysterious beauty, and is testament to the endurance of human curiosity.

Canada 2009 Dir. Benny Zenga & Brian Vernor 75 min.

Made In Queens (12*)

Last summer in Queens, NY a group of imaginative tinkerers from Trinidad created something no-one had ever seen before: enormous stereo systems rigged onto ordinary bmx bikes. Travelling together they treat the neighborhood to an outrageous impromptu music and dance party on wheels.

US 2008 Dir. Joe Stevens & Nicolas Randall 10 min.
