The Bicycle Film Festival is coming to SA this November!

Join us at the next CycleLinks (the official monthly gathering of the CPT’s bicycle community) in Gugulethu, where we will explore what local cyclists are doing in communities around the city.
Here is the next installation of the FLOW concert, featuring mesmerizing performances by Guy Buttery, Ronan Skillen and Kyla- Rose Smith set to the underwater landscapes of the Two Oceans Aquarium.

The speakers were change-makers from all walks of life – from big wave riders and free divers to filmmakers, artists, photographers and marine biologists. As the day progressed a common theme began to emerge – that people will only conserve what they know and love and that media has a huge role to play in creating these connections.
