RADIANT CITY

A Documentary About Urban Sprawl

Film screening: Monday 12 May - 20.30 - £5 (£4 concessions)

The Cube Cinema, Dove Street South

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.

Presented in partnership with Bristol Indymedia.
