Does anyone want to champion a showing of this film?
I’d be happy to host at Coppertoppe, but the Hebron Church social hall holds more people if you think there would be enough interest.

I am interested in showing an award-winning film that
demonstrates the catastrophic
consequences of our current waste management practices. I have purchased the
license to show the film for free to groups
of 50 or less. Is anyone interested in partnering with me to
show this film in the Lakes Region or other parts of NH? I just need a place, a
projector and a sound-system, depending on the size of the venue. A food
sponsor would be nice too, but not necessary. Please get in touch if you
have any thoughts.
I am already teaming with the Eastern Slope Inn and Flatbread Pizza
for showings in North Conway but want to share this incredible film with
everyone.
The film is called Manufactured Landscapes.
See the synopsis below:
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. The film follows him through China, as he shoots the evidence and
effects of that
country's massive industrial revolution. With breathtaking sequences, such as
the opening
tracking shot through an almost endless factory, the filmmakers also extend the
narratives
of Burtynsky's photographs, allowing us to meditate on our impact on the planet
and
witness both the epicenters of industrial endeavor and the dumping grounds of
its waste.
In the spirit of such environmentally enlightening sleeper-hits as AN
INCONVENIENT
TRUTH and RIVERS AND TIDES, MANUFACTURED LANDSCAPES powerfully shifts our
consciousness about the world and the way we live in it, without simplistic
judgments or
reductive resolutions.
