Manufactured Landscapes, Wednesday, February 20th
Manufactured Landscapes is the portrait of one man?s voyage as it follows celebrated till photographer Edward Burtynsky on a tour of Asia. Burtynsky takes large-format stills of industrial landscapes: factory workers lined up in infinity, giant ships eviscerated, massive recycling dumps, expansive strip mines. His goal is to portray humanity?s relationship to nature as we pursue progress. The film perfectly balances the images of Burtynsky with those of talented cinematogrpher/creative consultant Peter Mettler. When Burtynsky speaks, he neither celebrates or condemns but simply explores who were are in relation to our planet. We extract things from the environment to survive, and that is damaging the world.
