Manufactured Landscapes

02:12:00

Made in China. This is what I saw when I turned my trainer upside down. The sole had an inscription so vivid that it couldn't be ignored. Have you ever considered the number of items you own which are made at a place so distant from your lifetime accommodation that you don't even think about it minding your own business? Have you counted your cheap T-shirts, pricey electronic equipment and have you thought about the conditions in which they are produced? Have you wondered about the impact of our existence on the environment? How we change and shape the world? How we completely reshaped it during the past decades and how the landscapes manufactured are equally awe-inspiring as the natural wonders of the universe? If yes, this is a film for you.

On the nature of pictures

*Every Google image belongs to someone and this someone should be noted. However, if pictures are scenes from the film they most probably belong to owners of the film/producers. I use saved screens of the Google compilation of pictures, thus the pictures of pictures, which I take, cut and edit myself (as a derivative use). They are used for reviewing purposes (fair use), not for diminishing the films' profits by stealing what rightly belongs to them. Copyright is tricky, let's get used to it.
