Fantoche on bikes

The bicycle is an oft-celebrated subject of animated films, which is why Fantoche is pleased to present the ‘Velokino’, a sublime interface between the art of animation and cycling culture. Whether as sports equipment, a fashion accessory, lifestyle choice, ecological statement, loyal companion or practical mode of transport, these films all honour the bicycle.
