Film Description: From the makers of the international proclaimed films Why We Cycle and Together We Cycle. When We Cycle is a feature-length documentary considering different developments in society and the role of cycling in these possible futures. It takes a look into the great unknown, asking whether the fast and efficient cyclist gets priority or are other scenarios conceivable? In the documentary, various experts and everyday cyclists take you on this journey through different imaginable futures for cycling.

We will also be screening one of the One Earth Young Filmmakers winning films The Most Wonderful Choice of the Year by Magnolia Elementary School.

Stay after the film for an enlightening facilitated dialogue with relevant experts and advocates.
