The City Dark

Opens Jan. 18 in NY and coming soon to a theater near you. Check http://www.argotpictures.com/citydark.html for theater listings.

THE CITY DARK chronicles the disappearance of darkness. The film follows filmmaker (and amateur astronomer) Ian Cheney, who moves to New York City from Maine and discovers an urban sky almost completely devoid of stars. Posing a deceptively simple question—"What do we lose, when we lose the night?"—the film leads viewers on a quest to understand how light pollution affects people and the planet. In six chapters weaving together cutting-edge science with personal, meditative sequences reflecting on the human relationship to the sky, THE CITY DARK shines new light on the meaning of the dark.

@CSATexan As an amature astronomer and conservative I support sensible regulations to keep our skies dark. You will find many others like me.

[Fredlayno]

this problem might apply to progressive countries, but there are some places which are in dire need of light. it's nice that consumerists are starting to realize what their problems are, but you can't really generalize things with films like these....

I am 100% sure that my quality of life improved when I moved to a mountain town where I could see stars by the billions after 18 years in Southern Cal where the sky is like a beige backdrop durning the day, and utterly light-polluted at night.
