- DirectorMark RanceStarsLem DobbsVivian SobchakDana PolanIntriguingly "unpacks" various meanings of the film. The feature presents five perspectives on Dark City: "A Postmodern Film" (Lem Dobbs), "Identity Theft" (UCLA professor Vivian Sobchak), "Worlds Constructed" (NYU professor Dana Polan), "Cities as Spectacle & Collective Memories" (Lem Dobbs and Roger Ebert), and "Memoirs of My Nervous Illness by Daniel Paul Schreber" (Alex Proyas and Rosemary Dinnage). Kudos to New Line for providing the academic slant. Part of the fun, of course, is deciding which ideas you acknowledge and which you think are pretentious poppycock.
- DirectorRuby Ofori Edward ScottArchitect, Naigzy Gebremedhin takes the audience on a tour of his beloved city, Asmara, in Eritrea, showcasing the stunning rationalist architecture left by Italian colonizers from the 1930s, and the lifestyle of Asmarinos living in and around these buildings. Inspired by Mussolini's dream of recreating the Roman Empire in Africa, Asmara and her architectural splendors now symbolize something totally opposite to what the Fascist regime had in mind. The city has survived 30 years of civil war but may now become a victim of the decaying effects of poverty and time. 'City of Dreams' explores the ambiguities of the city's architectural legacy which, though treasured by her inhabitants, also holds bitter memories of racial segregation, memories that are recalled through personal testimony and stunning archival footage.
