Interview with Ben Wolf, producer and director of Changing Lanes. We will talk about his vision for the future of cities, people-centred cities, reclaiming public space for the public, micromobility, electric bikes, and many more.

Ben Wolf is a producer, director, and cinematographer known for his work on acclaimed documentaries including Note by Note, Obit, and contributions to Gary Hustwit’s Helvetica, Objectified, Urbanized, and Rams. Splitting time between Brooklyn and Sicily, he is an avid cyclist. Changing Lanes, his feature directorial debut, follows a grassroots fight in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, to transform a dangerous boulevard into a safer street with protected bike lanes. Featuring David Byrne and Janette Sadik-Khan, the film explores community power, urban democracy, and the battle for people-centered cities.
