Bike Polo & ShAFF

ShAFF is the Sheffield Adventure Film Festival, which showcases films on adventure, travel and extreme sports.

I reckon this film festival would be an excellent opportunity to get some exposure for our sport to an interested and sympathetic audience so I contacted the organisers to see what they thought. In my email I linked to the Under The Westway and BikePolo 2009 Rewind films for reference.

This was the response;

In principle I would be interested in screening films on the sport. I looked at the two films you sent links to and whilst they might be interesting within the bike polo community they’d need to be a fair bit more polished to make it into the wider marker and for me to consider screening at ShAFF. ShAFF films, especially the short ones, either focus on very good film work depicting amazing skill, and / or a great little story. Hope that helps somewhat. Will look forward to seeing what you submit.

I think that this is a fair and encouraging response based on the quality of films that I've seen at ShAFF in the past.

The purpose of this thread then is to encourage any resident polo film makers to submit their work to the festival (details on the site) and to get people to make recommendations for films that they think would be suitable for submission/generally spread the word.

Just for clarity, these are the films I linked to:

message the guys who made this ad tell them to submit.

Did look at that and thought it might be a contender. Does anyone know if they're on the forum.

don't think so, but they're super easy to find pon fb or just message on vimeo

I've always thought there was room for some more basic shorter films in between the big budget ones. There is only so much BC & double back flips you can take before drifting off.

you are welcome to look at some of my polo films here: https://vimeo.com/album/172148
