AFTP Film Fest: Manufactured Landscapes
"Automation for the People" is a Embassy residency program for provocation and prefiguration about how technology can serve the common good. Fellows engage in self-directed projects, discussion and research on topics in this broad range, and Embassy serves as a porous container to catalyze spontaneous collaboration and inspiration.
As part of this residency, we will be hosting a series of five films relating to collectivism, technology, and relationality, to inform and inspire the direction of our work.
The fourth entry in the <AFTP> Film Fest is Manufactured Landscapes (2006, Canada):
Manufactured Landscapes is the striking new documentary on the world and work of renowned artist Edward Burtynsky. Internationally acclaimed for his large-scale photographs of “manufactured landscapes”—quarries, recycling yards, factories, mines and dams—Burtynsky creates stunningly beautiful art from civilization’s materials and debris.
