It’s an absolute joy to announce that Mama Agatha will be showing in beautiful New Zealand on four occasions during New Zealand Bicycle Film Festival 2017 in Wellington!
From action and drama to stories of social and personal change, there will be something for everyone. New Zealand’s audiovisual archive, Ngā Taonga Sound & Vision, will host the festival at its cinema on 84 Taranaki St in partnership with the Big Bike Film Night.
Thousands of miles and several major, uncycleable bodies of water separate Amsterdam from Australia, but we all celebrate International Women’s Day on the same day! If you are in or nearby Perth, come join the Wonder Women edition of Perth’s City Mojo Film Festival on March 8 organized by Perth Bike Hub and enjoy a great collection of female-focused short films about bold leaders, urban living and roller derby.
Pack your picnic and grab a beanbag. The show starts at 7pm on Northbridge Piazza.

Here’s something that might surprise you: The cycling capital of the world does not have a bicycle film festival – until now, that is! Started in 2001 by Brendt Barbur, the Bicycle Film Festival has since grown into a global platform to celebrate the bicycle through music, art and, of course, film. Numerous cities around the world have their Bicycle Film Festival, and starting next week, so will Amsterdam.
Of course, we are joining with Mama Agatha: You can see the film in the special program Women on Wheels at Pakhuis de Zwijger on October 7, starting from 20:00. The entrance is free! Mama Agatha herself will be present for a podium discussion. More info here.
