SCHEDULE
100 Kicks in the Desert, United Kingdom, 53 min, Directed by Llewelyn Sullivan Pavey • Recreating the first Dakar Rally, riders take vintage bikes across the Sahara, discovering just how raw, brutal, and beautiful the world’s toughest race once was.
Slowly Going Faster, USA, 25 min, Directed by David Martinez • On the unforgiving salt of Bonneville, a visionary builder pushes vintage motorcycles past their limits, chasing records, risking blowups, and proving that speed is as much obsession as it is achievement.
Uganda by Motorcycle, United Kingdom, 21 min, Directed by Danny Lilwall • On unreliable local bikes, two riders take on Uganda’s wild roads, where breakdowns, wildlife, and pure chaos turn into the adventure of a lifetime.
[Intermission, 15 min]
Hey Kid , Canada, 6 min, Directed by Daniel Stark • A quiet letter from Steve Milum to his younger self, told through the landscapes of Prince Rupert and the freedom of the road. A reminder to slow down, stay present, and follow your own path.
Life's Like Changing Tires, Channel Island of Jersey, 9 min, Directed by Thomas Dance • Through stories of flat tires in the Himalayas, breakdowns in Albania, and the inherited rituals of wrenching, the film explores how preparation, struggle, and the kindness of strangers mirror our day-to-day challenges.
The Drixton, USA, 57 min, Directed by Spenser Robert • The touching story of how the son of a highly accomplished motorcycle racer tracked down, rebuilt and raced the motorcycle that almost killed his dad.
