The festival itself kicks off July 9 at First Avenue.

On July 10, screenings begin at the Riverview Theater, 3800 42nd Ave. S., with an after-party that night at Pi, 2532 25th Ave. S., featuring DJ Blowtorch.

July 11 screenings take place at MacPhail Center for Music, 501 S. Second St., with an after-party at Bedlam Theatre at 10 p.m. featuring a “bike pile contest” and silent movies on the rooftop.

At 1 p.m. on July 12, teams of up to five riders may take part in a scavenger race beginning behind Varsity Bikes, 1306 SE Fourth St. Entry fee is $5.

July 12 screenings and closing party are at Theatre de la Jeune Lune and One On One Bike Studio, respectively, in the North Loop neighborhood.
