Stepdown (5:15) by Adam Bentley
(Screening at REELING, Day 3)

Stepdown urgently brings to life the parts of streets not flattened by snow and reimagines them as part of the struggle to bring back life-giving natural systems from planet-killing car dependency. We are radical tactical urbanism laying obviously bare how much space cities have surrendered to cars over the last century. We can move, dance, get fit, laugh, and love. We are snow and we are taking back space that was rightfully ours.
