The Big Bike Film Night and Matinee: Napier
Showcasing our 2025 collection that has everything a cycle-centric audience could want – action, drama, humour, and plenty of inspiration; the evening is unashamedly and utterly, utterly, utterly designed and devised to delight the two-wheel devotee!
For 2025, at MTG Century Theatre we are introducing an extra matinee event so you don't miss out!
This year’s treasure chest of films includes:
An exhilarating film that redefines what’s possible on a gravel bike on technically challenging terrains
A celebration of grit, camaraderie, and the beauty of “Type 2 Fun”, this film is an ode to the ride, not the finish line
A heartwarming documentary that explores the importance of getting outside, no matter where one is on life’s journey
An uplifting film that follows a group of local bike and snow enthusiasts from Wānaka, who have the desire to bring positive social change to their local community through an annual “bikepack” to the local Ski Resort with all their gear
An inspiring mountain bike ride through back country Queenstown that is both poetic and meaningful
A life-changing experience for a group of friends who undertake a trip to a bothie (hut) in the Highlands of Scotland to show what can be achieved by people with disabilities in relation to having adventures
A film that celebrates the art of “winging it” and how travelling by bicycle and the power of exploration can obliterate preconceptions and contribute to understanding others
and
A classic Kiwi story of a young trailblazer participating in a gruelling six-day mountain bike rally, exploring his boundaries with his own signature entirely unsupported style -fueled by a penchant for chocolate milk
ALL in the mix!
These short films are a great reminder of why we love to ride our bike; with stories that captivate us, stories that make us think, and most importantly of all – inspiring us to get out and ride
