Bicycle Film Festival Sydney

Brendt Barbur, Founding Festival Director, was compelled to start the Bicycle Film Festival when he was hit by a bus while riding his bike in New York City.  He insisted on turning his negative experience into a positive one. In 2001 Barbur started the Bicycle Film Festival as a platform to celebrate the bicycle through music, art and, of course, film. The Bicycle Film Festival has been a major catalyst for the urban bike movement, one of the most powerful and culturally relevant forces of the last decade.

BFF returns to Sydney with an art exhibition and opening party on Thursday 24 November, screenings Friday 25th, more screenings and the BFF Sydney after party on Saturday 26th.

Paid Internship Opportunities with NBC Universal

Leave a comment

Some fantastic work experience opportunities are up for grabs working with NBC Universal. These are 6 month paid internships that will allow you to really get your foot in the door working for a massive international media conglomerate. Please note that it doesn’t appear that there is a lot of technical production involved, so it wouldn’t be ideal for people wanting to launch a career in directing or cinematography (apart from the Matchbox Internship which may offer some scope for this).

They have an info day coming up about NBC that’s definitely worth checking out, but you need to make sure that you RSVP for this. I’ve included it as a screenshot of a PDF below for your convenience.
