Manufactured Landscapes is a feature documentary on the work of

internationally renowned artist Edward Burtynsky. The film follows

him as he travels through China photographing the evidence and

effects of that country’s massive industrial revolution.

The Three Gorges Dam, factory floors a kilometre long and the

breathtaking scale of Shanghai’s urban renewal are subjects for his

lens and our motion picture camera.

Shot in Super-16mm film, the documentary extends the narratives

of Burtynsky’s photographs, meditating on the human impact on the

planet without trying to reach simplistic judgements or reductive

resolutions. In the process, it shifts our consciousness about the

world and the way we live in it.
