Jennifer Baichwal’s award-winning documentary centres on renowned Canadian artist Edward Burtynsky, whose large-scale photographs portray the devastating impact of industrial expansion on the environment.

Baichwal observes the artist at work amid some of the most surreal landscapes of the 21st century: quarries, recycling yards, factories, mines, dams and shipbreaking yards. Manufactured Landscapes is as much about the aesthetic, social and political dimensions of industrialization and globalization as it is about Burtynsky’s work and how his photographs are disseminated.

Followed by a Q&A with Edward Burtynsky.
