‘The City Dark’ Looks at Effects of Too Much Light[20 January 2012]By Cynthia FuchsPopMatters Film and TV EditorSomething I Couldn't NameI would go nuts if I couldn’t have the dark night sky. There’s a whole universe up there.—Jack Newton, Astrophotographer“It’s a crappy night. We sometimes call it schmutz: that’s a local expression.” For astronomer IrveRobbins, local is New York. An astronomer at the College of Staten Island, he still likes to head out toJones Beach, where he can best see the night sky. In the city, he laments, the view is limited by lightpollution, and he likes to see more. “When you look at the sky,” he says, “It really is the sum total ofeverything around you.”As charming as Professor Robbins’ enthusiasm may be, his point is actually complicated, both obviousand abstract. It’s the sort of complication that characterizes all of The City Dark, Ian Cheney’s meditationon the night sky. Opening this week at New York’s IFC Center, the documentary is alternately poetic andangsty, clever and banal.This mix of affects emerges plainly in the film’s overuse of time‐lapse imagery, as lights play oversurfaces, dissolve into the sky. But it’s more compelling in Cheney’s voiceover. “I live in the city, a bigcity with 8 million people,” he says at the start. The camera follows him along the Manhattan sidewalksas he looks up at the sky, trying to count the stars. “On most nights,” he says, “I can count only a fewdozen stars.” The reason, Cheney explains, is “light pollution,” too much artificial light, especially lightthat spins off into space. The effects of that excess might seem self‐evident—say, that schmutzy sky—but they’re also unknown. When he was a child in rural Maine, he says, “I never stopped to wonderwhat those dark starry nights meant to me. But when I moved to the city, I felt at once like I was at thecenter of the world under all those lights and like I’d left something important behind, something Icouldn’t name.” He adds on the vaster question, “What do we lose when we lose the night?”To start, Cheney talks to (and drives around with) people who have given the matter some thought,from Robbins (“I need to go farther and farther to see the sky, to be part of the universe”) toWashington Heights Boy Scouts leader Matty Holzhacker, who makes a point of taking his urban‐basedscouts out in the woods. “I can’t tell you that I’m very familiar with the stars,” he smiles, adding, “Myson knows, but he never goes on any of the damn trips, so…” He turns to the scouts gathered beforehim, their number, following some cancellations, now down to five. They head out: the mountains aregrand, the trees are tall. And when night falls, the kids look up: “My God,” says one, “There’s like 100stars!”Page 45 of 161
