IT IS increasingly rare for documentaries to be released in cinemas, no matter how good they might be. Yet Citizen Jane: Battle for the City, a new documentary about Jane Jacobs produced and directed by Oscar-nominated filmmaker Matt Tyrnauer, will be shown in close to 20 cities around the US.

The film has been screened in Europe and Canada, where it had a prime spot at Baconfest, which is described in press materials as "Calgary's favourite urban planning film festival".
