Can you remember the last time you heard birdsong, or the wind blowing?

Could the new elevated bike lane on Market Street get more people on their bikes? Debbie Chisholm, one of our volunteers, is a regular cyclist through the city and says it's an ideal topic for our Climate Action Film Contest

The Festival may be over but we're planning more screenings of some of your favorite films.

Where to see or buy films from the 2015 Festival:

What a fantastic week! This year's festival was bigger than ever - with 60 new films from 25 countries with 70 guest filmmakers and speakers.

Bikes were center stage at last night's Opening Reception & Premiere of the 5th San Francisco Green Film Festival.

Imagine if cities around the world cycled as much as the residents in Copenhagen, where 40% of residents commute by bike. What would our cities look like, how much CO2 and oil would we save, if more of us commuted by bike every day?

The SF Green Film Fest Team are big fans of two wheels and in celebration of SF Bay Area Bike to Work Day shared some of their favorite moments on a bicycle.

Look out for the bike themed films in this year's Festival with Opening Night film Bikes vs. Cars, May 28, and SF film Oak & Scott: Pausing at High Speed in our Changing Cities Program on May 31.

Explore the exciting line-up of environmental films and discussions at the 5th Annual SF Green Film Festival, May 28 - June 3.
