[via CBC Docs newsletter]

THE PASSIONATE EYE SHOWCASE

RADIANT CITY (90 minutes)
Genie Award-winning Radiant City offers an entertaining look at life in suburbia.While Evan Moss zones out in commuter traffic, Ann toils away in her dream kitchen and the kids play sinister games amidst the fresh foundations of monster houses. Developers call it big business, but the Moss family call it home. Welcome to the neighbourhood and welcome to Radiant City - an entertaining and startling look at 21st century suburbanites and suburban sprawl.
Discuss this film online.

I first saw Gary Burns' Radiant City at Calgary international film festival. (See a trailer here and more info on filmmakers here.) It is a very interesting movie and I quite liked it. Feel free to leave your comments or thoughts on the film in the comment section. And I will share with you my thoughts about it.

By the way, Gary is a Calgarian and it has been my pleasure to run into him a few times in Calgary at movies or industry events. Gary is a really nice guy.
