Bike Porn, a Portland based project initiated in 2007, has developed into a touring film festival of shorts exploring the eroticism and sexuality of human-powered transportation. Screening this radical and explicit content in group settings creates a safe space for exploration of boundaries and obscenity so that we may establish our own standards, rather than centrist culture imposing their standards upon us. Though Bike Porn we aim to break taboo, provide a forum for emerging artists to screen their work, and facilitate cultural acknowledgment of fringe communities.
We are currently on The Backlash Tour: 50 cities 10,000 miles 100 days
Additional Information
The Backlash Tour will take us more than 10,000 miles to visit some 50 cities in 100 days. It is quite a challenge, but since we don't sell DVDs this is the only way to share the movies while keeping the filmmakers' privacy.
The show is an exhilarating experience, but the real magic happens afterwards when people who otherwise would feel uncomfortable discussing sex, gender or other topics are able to speak freely. The films as hetero and queer oriented, but above all sex positive and full of bikesexuality.
“Bike Porn is civic. Current political policies are designed to repress sexual expression and transportation choice. The Bike Porn film festival challenges that trend by enthusiastically displaying the quality of creative expression and the amount of fun inherent in both bicycling and sex. Both activities are worthy elements of a healthy lifestyle and a pleasant quality of life.”
