Copland / The City

THE CITY is a groundbreaking documentary that looks at the evolution of America's towns and cities, and the indelible mark industrialisation has left on the country's landscape. From the manicured lawns and white picket fences of smalltown suburbia, to the super highways and multiplexes of the big city, this film highlights the impact environment has on society; specifically its effect on family life. Aaron Copland's sonic accompaniment is a veritable tour de force by the American-born composer.
