Description: |
Movie Night - The City Dark at Quogue Wildlife Refuge in Quogue, Hamptons, Long Island, New York.
Join us for a cozy evening in the Nature Center to watch a highly acclaimed documentary The City Dark, A Search for Night on a Planet that Never Sleeps. The City Dark chronicles the disappearance of darkness. The film follows filmmaker Ian Cheney who moves to New York City from Maine and discovers an urban sky almost completely devoid of stars. He poses a deceptively simple question, "What do we lose, when we lose the night?". Exploring the threat of killer asteroids in Hawaii, tracking disoriented hatching turtles along the Florida coast, and rescuing birds on Chicago streets injured by collisions with buildings, 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. The 83 minute film features stunning astrophotography and a cast of eclectic scientists, philosophers and historians
