Bicycle Film Festival is coming to the Berkshires on June 16 at The Stationery Factory – proudly hosted by Pittsfield Community Design Center and Berkshire NEMBA. Schedule BFF your way and choose from two different curated selections of 90-minute short films celebrating the bicycle in all its forms – see program descriptions below. Attend one or both showings and make BFF a part, or all, of a beautiful summer Sunday in the Berkshires.

Make a day of it and join the organizers for community bike rides (schedule TBA), visit local vendors in the beautiful Stationery Factory halls, and grab a bite nearby around Dalton’s Main Street. Or, just drop in for a film showing as part of your day.

Bicycle Film Festival has been celebrating bicycles through art, film, and music over the past 24 years. BFF spans the world in over 100 cities worldwide to an audience of over one million people.

Seven short films (see below) that appeal to a wide audience from film connoisseurs to avid cyclists and everyone in between. For lovers of gravel, mountain biking, bike-packing, and ultra-endurance cycling, this program will take you on a journey around the world:

Nine-plus curated documentaries, narratives, animations, award-winning directors, and emerging talents – all share equal billing. These stories celebrate the change makers, the advocates, the legends, the community organizers, and the activists who are pushing the bike movement forward in their communities:

June is Dairy Month. Complete and submit your Dairy Crawl Passport by July 4 to be entered to win!
We farmers have been friends and neighbors for generations.
We all face similar challenges – development of farmland, difficulty finding reliable labor, and razor thin profit margins. We borrow equipment from one another, trade tips and feedback, and lend a helping hand. While not all of the participating farmstands are dairy farms, it is a longstanding tradition to support our neighbors and sustain agriculture in the Pioneer Valley.
We’ve opened farmstands to diversify our businesses so that we can continue to do what we love: create local, wholesome food for our community. This Dairy Month, we hope that you enjoy your visit to our farmstands!
Share your Dairy Crawl journey with us! #DairyCrawl
Dairy Crawl Passports are free and available at participating farmstands (while supplies last) or to print online.
Submitted passports will be entered into a raffle and 6 will be randomly selected to win a $50 gift certificate from one of the farms.
Completed and semi-completed passports are eligible to be entered into the raffle. Dairy Crawlers who received:
Two stamps = 1 raffle entries
Three stamps = 2 raffle entries
Four stamps = 3 raffle entries
Five stamps = 4 raffle entries
all SIX stamps = 20 raffle entries
AND an additional 2 entries per keyword (up to 12 more entries!)
Winners will be notified by email or phone.
