DC Premiere of THE CITY DARK
Presented by the Environmental Film Festival in the Nation's Capital

THE CITY DARK (2011, USA, 84 min.) is a feature documentary about light pollution and the disappearing night sky, which premiered in competition at the 2011 South by Southwest Film Festival. After moving to New York City from rural Maine, filmmaker Ian Cheney asks a simple question, "Do we need the stars?" Exploring the threat of killer asteroids in Hawaii, tracking hatching turtles along the Florida coast, and rescuing injured birds on Chicago streets, Cheney unravels the myriad implications of a globe glittering with lights including increased breast cancer rates from exposure to light at night, and a generation of kids without a glimpse of the universe above. Featuring stunning astrophotography and a cast of eclectic scientists, philosophers, historians and lighting designers, THE CITY DARK is the definitive story of light pollution and the disappearing stars.

DISCUSSION WITH FILMMAKER IAN CHENEY FOLLOWS SCREENING.
Ian Cheney is the co-creator of 2007 Festival selection KING CORN and director of 2011 Festival selection TRUCK FARM.

Tickets: $15 are available starting at 6:00 PM at E Street Cinema. Cash only.
