Lond
on: The Price of Traffic
Based on the economic principle
of demand management, London’s controversial congestion charge challeng
es the 20th century notion that cities should be designed around cars, and
asks drivers to pay for access to public roads in the city center. Thanks
to visionary municipal leaders like former Deputy Mayor Nicky Gavron, thi
s plan is the core of a sweeping push to transform London into a transit-e
fficient and pedestrian-friendly megacity in time for the 2012 Olympic Gam
es. New York City is considering a similar scheme for Manhattan, despite a
failed first attempt to introduce it last year.
Pari
s: Vé\;lo Liberté\;
Paris’ ambitious public-pr
ivate Vé\;lib’ bike-sharing initiative encourages residents to forgo
cars for bikes and public transportation. In the process, the program has
transformed the city and fostered a unique popular culture, complete with
its own language, jokes and pick-up lines. If imitation is the sincerest
form of flattery, Paris Mayor Bertrand Delanoé\; has undoubtedly taken
heart: its success has inspired cities like Rome, San Francisco and Londo
n to begin adopting similar programs. New York City's department of transp
ortation is also working on its own version.
Writing that "the fi
rst thing you'll notice... is how beautiful it looks," the New York Times
called the series "painterly and evocative" and wrote of shots that "could
have been lifted from a Terence Malick film." The films are produced by N
ew York-based documentary filmmaking company kontentreal
which specializes in world changing films about social, economic, cultural
and ecological global challenges. Director Tad Fettig's background is in
independent film as a director and cinematographer. His credits include "D
opamine" (Sundance Film Festival 2003), "Junta Rations" (King Entertainmen
t), and the feature documentary "Ausangate," as well as the Sundance Chann
el series "Ecoists." He formed the company kontentreal fi
ve years ago with veteran executive producer Karena Albers. Producer V
3\;ronique Bernard has been producing non-fiction films and television for
25 years in the UK, Australia and the US. Her credits include documentari
es for Nova, National Geographic, Discovery Communications, New York Times
Television, Sundance Channel, ABC News Productions and SBS Television in
Sydney where she was head of production. She has also taught documentary a
nd television production at NYU Film School.
