VAHNA MOTORCYCLE FILM FESTIVAL PRESENTED BY TRIUMPH TO SPOTLIGHT MOTO FILMS IN SIX CITIES
2024 BONNEVILLE T120 TO BE AWARDED AS GRAND PRIZE
VAHNA Magazine and Journal (formerly META Magazine) has launched the inaugural VAHNA Motorcycle Film Festival presented by Triumph Motorcycles. This annual film competition and festival tour celebrates the art of motorcycle cinematography and offers aspiring filmmakers a platform to showcase their unique storytelling abilities and creative vision to the world.
Triumph joins VAHNA as the presenting sponsor of the film festival. Triumph is providing a new 2024 Bonneville T120 as the Grand Prize for the festival, with the hopes of incentivizing motorcycle filmmakers to create and submit their most inspired work.
From classics pictures such as The Great Escape and The Wild One, to modern blockbusters like Jurassic World and 007’s No Time To Die, motorcycles in film have helped inspire generations on new riders. Triumphs have been prominently featured in many iconic motorcycle moments in film and television, such as the aforementioned. With this legacy in mind and to help ensure motorcycles on film continue to inspire the next generation of riders, Triumph is proudly supporting this important film festival dedicated to motorcycles.
