We’ve featured many films from the crew at Streetfilms over the years. Their pioneering work — which has highlighted everything from ciclovias to separated bikeways — has had a major impact on the national and global livable streets movement.

Earlier this week, Streetfilms’ head provocateur, filmmaker Clarence Eckerson, sent word that they had published their 200th film. To celebrate this milestone, they put together a fun, 3-minute promo video that features highlights from their most memorable moments and a montage of the personalities that have graced their lens.

Watch the promo below (and go over to Streetfilms.org and leave a comment to show them some much-deserved love):

To the entire Streetfilms crew…keep up the stellar work.

To all the Portlanders out there, you’ll get a chance to meet Mr. Eckerson and view some of the best of Streetfilms at the upcoming Filmed by Bike, which opens next Friday, 4/17.

Great job, Street Films! I send links to the Mt. Hood Freeway video almost every other day.
