The mission of StreetFilms is to document livable streets best practices throughout the world and enlighten the general public that their streets can be safer for pedestrians and bicycles. The ultimate goal is to encourage more human-friendly cities and rethink the way our streets are allocated.
Streetfilms does this by making sometimes complex traffic and transportation concepts simpler by using video, animations, and language that the public can understand. They can also be frequently humorous. Our productions are used as Creative Commons tools the world over by communities and advocacy organizations to fight for better conditions in their neighborhoods.
Streetfilms is part of the Livable Streets Initiative which includes our sister sites Streetsblog and StreetsWiki. There are two full time filmmakers on staff, who usually shoot and edit their own videos independently as one-person productions.
