Hi!
How does this make you feel?
❤️
Or this?
👍
We all enjoy a little dopamine hit every now and then.
But how does it feel when a real human being strides over to you with a huge grin, shakes your hand and tells you to your face that they loved the film you just made?
It’s the difference between watching someone ride a bike on your phone, versus actually FEELING riding a bike on the trails.
If you’ve ever uploaded a film to YouTube you will know how it feels to get a few 👍👍👍.
But how many 👍 does it take to match the energy of someone buying you a drink and asking you to tell them how you actually got that shot?
On February 28th next year 240 real humans will be packed into the Kendal Arts Centre in the north west of England.
They will laugh, gasp, ah, ooh and applause some of the very best adventure motorcycle films on the BIG screen.

Capturing the magic of adventure motorcycling is so close to the heart of Adventure Spec, and we are proud to be able to sponsor the inaugural Adventure Motorcycle Film Festival in 2026.
If you’ve got a film on a hard drive (or maybe even YouTube) and would love to know how it feels to be part of the emotion submit it here:

And if you want to be one of those 240 humans in the audience in Kendal, make a filmmakers day and book your seat here: https://www.advmotofilmfest.com/
(I wouldn’t leave it too long as I’ve been told that they are almost sold out).
See you there.
With a few goodies.
And maybe a film of our own.
😁👍

P.S. I know, 240 seats in the UK is not going to work out for everyone.
If you are passionate about Adventure Motorcycle Filmmaking and have ideas about how the film festival could land in your country, town or village, drop me an email and I’ll pass it on to the festival organisers Clive and Simon.
Thanks!
