This year, the Brooklyn Sweden festival has altered course slightly, and instead of bringing every Brooklynite in possession of a guitar over to Stockholm, they have slimmed the music side of it down to a select few to make room for other cultural experiences in the shape of art, food and film.

One of the rare happenings in the festival program is the Bicycle Film Festival, which originated in New York back in 2001 and provides a platform to pay homage to bicycle culture. 40 films of various length, including one by Spike Jonze, are on offer.

And to whet your appetite, we’ve got an inside tip on a short film about a tall bike. Follow Richie Trimble on a stomach-turning ride on his four metre-plus high Stoopidtall. To see the clip, visit vimeo.com/64653759.
