This week’s double bill is the first of our artist meditations
on film with two visual masterpieces. First up is MANUFACTURED LANDSCAPES this
thought-provoking blend of art and films looking at the work of EDWARD
BURTYNSKY whose large-scale photographs document the devastating impact of
industrial expansions on the environment. Looking at ethics through aesthetics
and shifting our consciousness about the world we live in, the film follows BURTYNSKY
and his travels through China photographing the evidence and the effects of
country’s massive industrial revolution and it’s impact on the rest of the
world. Next up is MODERN LIFE we take a gentle stroll through the French farming
community, the simpering yet illuminating documentary wraps you in a soft
sensual cloak and takes you on an idyllic journey, visually stunning and character
driven documentary is a filmic delight and an undiscovered gem.
With the usual free popcorn and rum
