Kinopedalis is a two-day bicycling and film festival combined together. It was first held in 2016 and the goal of the festival was to guide people on bicycles around bike routes. Kinopedalis was held for the second time in May 2017 in Latvia. It attracted more than 1200 visitors to explore Valmiera and Kocenu, Burtnieki counties tourism trails.
We decided to interview Valters and Gundega from the main organizer Eži adventure company team to find out how an event with multiple aspects was brought to life and how gamification was used.
+Congratulations! You just won the award for the best festival at the Baltic event awards for Kinopedalis 2017 festival. Why did you decide to apply and did you expect winning?
Thank you very much! We definitely didn’t think that we would win when we applied. There was an open call for festival awards and we just thought: “Ok, let’s just try and see what happens”. Because we believe that festival idea is quite unique and creative so why not to apply and let more people know about the festival.
