Hot Docs Ted Rogers Cinema
Toronto, ON

Named one of the “100 best Canadian films ever made” by The Globe & Mail’s Barry Hertz

Shot in Super-16mm film, Manufactured Landscapes extends the narrative streams of Burtynsky's photographs, allowing us to meditate on our profound impact on the planet and witness both the epicentres of industrial endeavour and the dumping grounds of its waste. What makes the photographs so powerful is his refusal in them to be didactic. We are all implicated here, they tell us: there are no easy answers. The film continues this approach of presenting complexity, without trying to reach simplistic judgements or reductive resolutions. In the process, it tries to shift our consciousness about the world and the way we live in it.

Join photographer Edward Burtynsky and director Jennifer Baichwal for a special post-screening Q&A.
