Edward Burtynsky, one of the best-known international photographers, has chosen to narrate in film form the effects of the industrial revolution that is marking the contemporary human and social landscape, particularly in East Asia. Through a compelling extension of the narrative flows typical of photographic storytelling, Edward Burtynsky has drawn a powerful fresco of the ‘constructed landscapes’ that man has produced over the last few decades. What impact does industrial development have on the planet? And what kind of landscape does the industrial world of the 21st century describe? A work of great visual impact, awarded at numerous international festivals.
