Edward Burtynsky: Manufactured Landscapes
Directed by Jennifer Baichwal 2006, Canada, 90 mins.
Director Baichwal shows us the work of Canadian photographer Edward Burtynsky who's big, detailed images are an excellent example of the artist finding beauty in what others see as uglyness and squaller. From China's massive Three Gorges dam project to rusting ships oozing oil on the muddy sea banks of Bangladesh this is a humbling film about the impact of man on the environment. There is a large political statement here yet it is left only to the camera to relay the message. Don't miss the unusual opening sequence, though tedious it strongly conveys the size of this new Chinese industrialization.
