The Sun
Directed by Veronica Timble
It's hotter in the city, the pavement absorbs heat and reflects it back at you. Parking lots are the hottest. The Sun explores what it means to grow up in a desiccated landscape, what a child might think when looking out their mother's car window. How the power-lines, sidewalks, beaches and asphalt mesh together into a manufactured beauty. Children who grow up in a world rended by urbanization won't miss the lush ecosystem we've annihilated, they'll learn to croon over the winding infrastructure of the highway.
