THE CITY DARK is a feature documentary about the loss of night. After moving to NYC from rural Maine, filmmaker Ian Cheney asks a simple question - do we need the stars? - taking him from Brooklyn to Mauna Kea, Paris, and beyond. 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, THE CITY DARK is the definitive story of light pollution and the disappearing stars.

原本漆黑的小屋，电灯突然亮起。这时左边的房门打开，随之进来一只粘土做的左手。它盲无所见，摸索而行，不知不觉来到屏幕最右边的房门前。拧开门锁后，两只眼球滴溜溜滚了进来。左手将眼球粘在食指和中指的指尖，这一刻它的眼前顿时一亮。还未回过神来时，右边的门响起敲门声，一只粘土右手走入房间。在此之后，耳朵、头颅、舌头、牙床、大脑、双腿等身体零件相继敲门进入房间。不速之客依然接二连三涌入小屋，最后的工序即将完成…… 本片荣获1990年德国柏林国际电影节最佳短片奖荣誉提及、1990年克拉科夫电影节评委会特别奖。
