Manufactured Landscapes
''Manufactured Landscapes'' is a 2006 feature-length documentary film about the work of photographer Edward Burtynsky. It was directed by Jennifer Baichwal and is distributed by Zeitgeist Films.
== Subject matter ==
The film involves the photographs and videos of photographer and visual artist Ed Burtynsky's trip through landscapes that have been altered by large-scale human activity, captured with Super-16mm film.〔 Most of the photographs featured in the film are pieces that are exhibited all over the world and are taken with a "large format field camera on large 4x5-inch sheet film and developed into high-resolution, large-dimension prints (of approximately 50x60 inches)"〔Edward Burtynsky〕 While some would call the work beautiful, his main goal was to challenge notions while raising questions about the interplay of environmental ethics and aesthetics. The footage was compiled from a trip to China where Burtynsky visited factories which Western society has come to rely on for most of its appliances, including a factory that produces most of the world's supply of clothes irons, which is one kilometer in length and employs 23,000 workers. The film also features the Three Gorges Dam, which, along with being the largest dam in the world, has uprooted more than one million people and flooded 13 cities, 140 towns and 1350 villages since the beginning of its construction in 1994.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.internationalrivers.org/china/three-gorges-dam )〕 Unlike most documentaries, there is very little commentary, which allows viewers to take in the images and try to make sense of what they're seeing, while at the same time the film "tries to shift our consciousness about the world and the way we live in it".〔
Jennifer Baichwal elaborated on the film's minimal commentary and its connection to the film's overall message in a Q&A with Film Forum, noting that "...if the film was didactic it would imply an easy answer . . ."〔 Q&A with MANUFACTURED LANDSCAPES filmmaker Jennifer Baichwal & Edward Burtynsky - Film Forum, podcast audio. Film Forum. MP3. Accessed October 20, 2014. http://01f070d.netsolhost.com/mp3/ManufacturedJune202007.mp3. 〕 With this statement, the film does not propose a concrete solution to human environmental impact, but rather asks the viewer to consider the many contributing factors.
