First-time filmmaker and former Wall Street Journal reporter Neil Barsky’s 2012 documentary film Koch explores the origins, career, and legacy of Edward Irving “Ed” Koch, who served as Mayor of New York City for three consecutive terms from 1978 to 1989. With candid interviews and rare archival footage, the film offers a close look at a man known for being intensely private in spite of his dynamic public persona, and chronicles the tumultuous events which marked his time in office – a fiercely competitive 1977 election, the 1980 transit strike, the burgeoning AIDS epidemic, landmark housing renewal initiatives, and an irreparable municipal corruption scandal. Poignant and often humorous, Koch is a portrait not only of one of New York’s most iconic political figures, but of New York City itself at a time of radical upheaval and transformation.

Interviewing leaders of animal organizations and volunteers who went to New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina, it is revealed that at the beginning, everyone had different ideas about how things should be done, but no one was willing to take charge because the problem was bigger than anyone could have imagined. The film champions the volunteers whose only concern was saving animals, unlike the animal organizations who were more concerned with the chain of command.

The film begins in the bayou itself, as a family of alligators frolic in the water to the tune of the Cajun classic “Iko Iko". The story then sets off on an historical exploration of how New Orleans rose up hundreds of years ago out of an untamed swampland – and went on to became celebrated around the world as “The Big Easy", a place where a feeling of joyful freedom permeated the music, the food and the city’s inimitable talent for turning “good times” into an art form. Here, a spicy gumbo of African, Native American, Cajun, Creole and Southern influences forged a completely unique culture. Louisiana’s coastal location (the state contains 40% of all the coastal wetlands in the continental U.S. according to the National Wetlands Research Center) was both a boon and a bane to the city. New Orleans evolved into the busiest port in the U.S., but after engineers diverted the Mississippi River, depleting the wetlands, the city became increasingly vulnerable to the killer winds and rising waters of seasonal hurricanes.

Le premier jour, le cinéaste prend à cadence normale quelques secondes du va-et-vient habituel de la circulation, les calèches, les chariots, et la foule des piétons. Puis, pendant les quelques semaines que dure l'opération de démolition du Star Theater, à New York, la caméra reste au même endroit, bien calée, filmant à travers la fenêtre d’un immeuble placé juste en face. Par des démarrages et des arrêts de caméra successifs, le cinéaste prend quelques vues à chaque demi-heure de la journée (il exclut le soir, la nuit et le petit matin, dont les lumières ne sont pas assez actiniques pour obtenir une image correctement exposée). À la projection, la démolition s’effectue ainsi en 1 min 30 s, les matériaux sont pris d’une sorte de folie autodestructrice, les ombres tournoient, les piétons s’activent comme des insectes, le store d’une boutique proche s’ouvre et se ferme à un rythme infernal, les étages du Star Théâtre disparaissent l'un après l'autre. « Quand seuls subsistent des monceaux de pierres que des fardiers débarrassent, le calme revient, un autre morceau du film à vitesse normale montre les piétons, indifférents aux ruines, qui vaquent à leurs occupations. » C’était à ce moment que derrière son public, l’opérateur respectait l’annonce du titre : "démolition et reconstruction", et il rembobinait le film à l’aide de l’appareil de projection sans éteindre la lanterne. Le Star Théâtre renaissait alors de ses ruines et se dressait de nouveau par la magie de la marche arrière.
