Radiant City: A documentary about urban sprawl
Radiant City: A documentary about urban sprawl
Film: 12 May 2008
Canadian film-makers Gary Burns and Jim Brown use a variety of cultural references, from Jane Jacobs to The Sopranos, to create a provocative reflection on North American suburbs and what they have become. Cinematographer Patrick McLaughlin transforms drab suburbia into eerie tableaux of dystopia. “A funny, astute and more than slightly unsettling portrait of the drive-through life.“ Toronto Star. Winner, Special Jury Prize, Vancouver International Film Festival
Introduced by Steve Ward of Carfree UK, an organisation which works to promote car-free development.
