CEREMA implemented visual investigation methods inspired by anthropology and a follow-up with a film team in June and September 2024, five young and five elderly volunteers who explain their current mobility difficulties by means of “ride along interviews”. Then, these volunteers were filmed changing their habits by means of “obstacle overcome interviews” in order to discover the solutions offered by the “mobility mix”(car-sharing, social transport offer, bike-sharing...).
The film is being broadcasted in all the community halls of the communes of the Pays de Lumbres territory, where all residents are invited. The idea is to provoke a cross-generational perspective in order to encourage meetings and if possible to generate collaborative solutions and mutual aid between citizens of all ages. Following its broadcast, the aim will be to evaluate, through an online and/or mail survey, the impact of this cinematographic work on interactions between neighbors, on the creation of local dynamics and on decisions to abandon – or not – the solo car. The film will be subtitled by the Cerema into english, to put to use for all interested parties.
