The cinematic arts are synonymous with speed and humanity’s relationship with fast machines. From 1903’s Great Train Robbery, Michael Caine careening through city streets in The Italian Job, the speeder bikes on Endor in Return of the Jedi, to even the giddy voyeurism of Russian dash-cams. Jalopnik, the Gawker blog devoted to all things automative have just the film festival for people that get a kick out of octane. The Jalopnik Film Festival (November 6, 2014) at Brooklyn’s Nitehawk Cinema (136 Metropolitan Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11249) brings the pedal to the metal to the silver screen.

The opening night of the fest shows the VOLVO short film, Ignition, with special guest appearance at the fest by IndyCar Driver Josef Newgarden and World Challenge Driver Andy Pilgrim and Jalopnik Judges Bloomberg Television Anchor Matt Miller, Auto Advertiser Jeff Zwart, and TV Writer/Host Spike Ferensten in Attendance.

Ayrton's Wish directed by Tamir Moscivici, shows a deceased F1 racer’s charity to the people of Brazil.
Apex: The Story of the Hypercar directed by J.F. Musial, documents the creation of some of the most extreme hyper-cars on the planet.

There is also a wide selection of short films from directors all over the world.

The Jalopnik Film Fest is the festival of choice for the speed-freaks and gear-heads among cinema enthusiasts.
