City Edition (1980)

"City Edition" follows the everyday life of a busy city through the eyes of a newspaper. The film opens with the creation and distribution of one issue of the New York Times, highlighting the stories inside. A quick series of images shows events happening around the world – conflicts, celebrity news, sports wins, and disasters – illustrating how the newspaper reflects both the good and bad of our world. The film connects these different scenes, like turning pages in a newspaper, to show how people experience and understand life in the city. "City Edition" explores how we make sense of the world and the impact news has on how we all think.
