STILL WE RIDE Dir. Andrew Lynn, Elizabeth Press, Christopher Ryan, 2005. United States. 37 min. In English.
On Friday August 27, 2004, just days before the Republican National Convention, a massive police operation was underway. By the end of the night, 264 people had been arrested. It marked one of the largest mass arrests in New York City history.
Main Program:
THE WRECK OF THE NEW YORK SUBWAY Dir. Newsreel, 1969. United States. 16 min. In English.
During the winter of 1969, the New York Transit Authority increased the subway fare from 20 cents to 30 cents. Infuriated riders scrambled under turnstiles and through exit doors, refusing to pay the fare.
MARATHON DE TRIPORTEURS Dir. Italo, 2026. France. 12 min. In Spanish with English subtitles.
Lima, Peru. May 1st, 1975. Workers' Day. Since the '72 census, the country has urbanized rapidly. Delivery tricycles — triporteurs — race through a city where the informal economy is gaining ground, months before Velasco is deposed by Morales Bermúdez and the military regime swings to the right.
CHANGING LANES Dir. Ben Wolf, 2025. United States. 74 min. In English.
When a beloved teacher is tragically killed in a hit-and-run crash in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, a grassroots movement emerges to transform McGuinness Blvd, a notoriously dangerous four-lane boulevard, into a safer, two-lane street with protected bike lanes.
Q&A to follow with the filmmakers of Changing Lanes.
