The Bicycle Art and Film Festival (BAFF) is a free festival dedicated to biking culture and will be taking place on Friday 26 and Saturday 27 August 2016 at the Rotondes in Luxembourg-Bonnevoie.
This year, the start of the festival will coincide with the Closing Night of the “Congés annulés” events at Rotondes.

FILM PROGRAMME: Sat 27.08, 18:00-19:30:
Cycle Me Home - Transsylvania (29 mins, Hungary, 2015), directed by Levente Klára, Máté Pálla
Synopsis: One year after the CMH team left for Transylvania to get lost in the hills and forests with their brakeless track bikes, they present the film about the epic adventure that made them conquer the world-famous Transfagarasan road. Fighting against physical and mental fatigue they were searching for the true adventurer, traveler and cyclist in themselves.
L'Eroica - Edizione (7 mins, Italy, 2015), directed by Christian Bohm
Synopsis: A documentary about the world’s most famous retro ride in the heart of Tuscany. The “L’Eroica” is a time capsule of the golden era of cycling that has already celebrated its 19th Edition in 2015. Ride the strada biancha of Chianti on pre-1987 bikes, wearing woollen jerseys, and fuelled by amazing Italian food and wine!
Rad Race - Tour De EspaNa (26 mins, Germany, 2016), directed by Hendrik Thul
Synopsis: The idea of the Rad Race Crew was to ride something similar to a pro tour: with a fixed route, daily stops and a crew bus that had everything you needed: a mechanic, some new tubes, tires, some food and drinks. The result was a fantastic trip from Cadiz on the Spanish Atlantic coast to Barcelona with a total of 1,483km and endless climbs (18,000km of altitude) with 15 riders.
