A series of insightful films that deal with modern living in the harsh glare of the bright lights of the modern city. A young man finds trouble on the streets of Kingston, Jamaica in Junior; while media-induced hysteria over an avian flu has terrifying consequences for a paranoid night shift worker in the eerie Radio. The beautifully shot The Seventh Dog is a perceptive account of a couple living in the shadow of post-9/11 fears and The Ends is a disturbing vision of urban England.
